Streetlights
Peeking out from the window, illuminating a place I once called home
But that place I left far behind
If only could the wings that brought me there would fly me up again
To be a child peeking through the blinds
Just watching the time go by
Endless waking in the dark, seemingly alone
As shadows crept from the corners and devoured my eyes
Streets where feet clattered like a dream, just a blink then gone
A day back when mother’s door was kept close
A crack through that instead of a face I remember
Streetlights
The one thing that kept me awake through the ever changing windows
A soft light that seemed to have disappeared
A story that faded on those streets where water fell so heavily
A heart full of ink that smeared down those trails
Car rides over plains, mountains and hills
A way I cannot return, and past then will I fly
To only think past on the days,
I wish I would’ve tried
But I just remember streetlights
