Icarus

Icarus

Still holding (though I want to let go)

Hope is so elusive
It just won’t come near
Hopelessness and foolishness
Grasping to things that just aren’t here
I can’t seem to find freedom
From your memory (was it ever)
I can’t hardly remember
My memories begin to fade
But my dreams won’t let me
Get away
 
 
I Dreamt of of you
Again last night
We finally talked again
We both agreed it was worth the cost
But then it turned out
No cost needed be paid
I know it was but a dream
I wish my psyche would
Just let it be

Constancy

This is where I am Though I fail to treasure it I am still right here

The hangman

Blessed to see Even momentarily To touch The greatest of heights reached by two people of one mind
