My eyes wide open
But my mouth is closed with words unspoken.

If only my eyes could find rest and my mouth courageous

I saw your picture today
Your feelings for me must have gone away
Because you had a girl around your arm in a doorway
I think I cried all day feeling this way
Then I had a revelation driving the causeway
I could die taking this drive and you'd never know how In my mind I go back to last may
When you said to me: please just stay
But I never listened anyway
The memory goes grey
I conjured up my own decay
When I summoned an angel of regret on doomsday
She said: your sexuality is in your hip sway
But I grow old and forget to pay
And now your with her and there's nothing I can say
Because I saw your picture today
Your feelings for me must have gone away

For You
I hoped as high as the heavens
And then I cried the whole sea

Tears are words that have not been written
The grief that does not speak

The heart dies a slow death
With each hope each desire falling like leaves that drop from trees until there's nothing left but the bare bones of empty branches with what once was....

But the child is now grown and with it the dream gone
LS Martin Dec 2020
Awake tonight with lonliness I can not bring myself to look upon the stars. Full of life I was told. But it was a lie. The stars are already dead. To look on them is to look into the past.
