A car goes by.
The telephone rings.
I was just hoping it was you,
Coming back to me.
But I only tend to dream,
And my head only fantasizes.
Memories awaken the past.
As far as I can see.
The sun again arises.
A hard cold theory,
On why you left.
Haunts my soul,
And leaves me weary.
I can't shake these feelings of despair,
To start my life anew.
Because inside there's only emptiness.
I'm now drowning in you.
My heart sinks deeper,
Past the point of saving.
Sometimes,
I can only see darkness
Where I sit,
Within your walls.
I know I've only made myself lonely.
But the love I've felt for you,
I could never feel for another.
These years will seem longer as time passes on.
But I know the truth will never arise,
To accept that your gone.
I will hold on to that thread of hope,
That someday you'll come home.
I can't shake these feelings of despair,
To start my life anew.
Because inside there's only emptiness,
I'm now drowning in you.
Delilah baby I can feel the weight of you in my arms.

I can feel my k to z love for you and see how that laugh of yours makes people cry
and how that smile pierces my heart because it looks just like his did.

I can feel the sun kissing each one of our toes as we sit overlooking the grand canyon in the kaleidoscope sunset.
your spider fingers are wrapped in my hair like a plea to never be left alone
your spindle legs are all knobby kneed and pale entwined with mine.

baby he left me not you.

I was a hurricane and he loved you too much to look

afraid that one glance and he'd be head over heels reeling out of control
like you were the drug and he was the addict.

they say everything happens for a reason and you are my reason.

Delilah baby you are the here and the now of forever.
the stop sign on the corner is an obstacle for street racers but its a godsend because its just enough of a pause for me to kiss you between the eyes.

and I can't ever finish anything so this story isn't complete

and at the top of the pass where the air is clear enough if we sing loud enough maybe he will hear us and remember who he left behind.

My love,
My muse,
My "I didn't sleep much lastnight" when I'm absent minded the next morning at work,
My 2 a.m poem
Something quick that was on my mind.
There is a memory to make so let's not waste this time
as it will never come again

Take my hand and let me feel your complexity
Slip into my arms like the most comfortable
blanket on a brisk winters night

I ask not for a kiss for its fleeting for sure
but let me truly know you and feel your heart

That is forever!

I'm your vault, I'm your net,  I'm the safety you seek

I am here now
I'm present, I'm listening, I'm yours!
