fragments of a soul drifting in the sky of my mind

then i would have no heart,
no words,
i would be still,
and still...i wish.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

once i remember,
you talked of wide
endless fields.

once i saw,
you did things that
made me grin inside.

once i felt,
thunderstorms on my skin
lighting dances within.

once i heard,
songs of promises
honey tasted like dull sweets.

once i spoke,
of a future i was certain
i could have.

and once i played,
the wise and foolish game
not knowing better.

once i wished
once i was
but now i am

and finally,
you fled.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

another look from you takes another piece of me.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

my soul window
bleeds black tears
and they say you reap
what you sow.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

you left me there alone
watching drops of rain turn
the pavement a darker colour.

blood-dark swift clouds
slowly seeping across the vast sky
and to my heart they settled.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

from afar it looks solid
come closer and you'll see
the hallowed circles etched
don't push me, see,
i am human still.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

like a lamppost
waiting for the stars
so it can shine on tears
and scars.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


oh pieces of cracked pots lying around in my notebook.
