far away from home.

sweetie;
he looked too far.
(away).

his restrictions never
included me.
never would he dare to
think that
i wouldn’t fit
into his life someway.
and somehow i think we know,
this is the fight.
this is the turn out.
we so desperately deserve
our hearts
beating in a distorted tune.
reflections in our mirror
beckon us to play one more
round.
of stolen, vile kisses and
flashing red lights
blinking at the memories
lost.
blinded by the failed sight of
each others own open
wounds.

and i was there when the
downfall
turned out to be a play.
where romeo spoke ugly meanings
and
juliet fell to the ground.
in a heap of whispered promises
and no,
you don’t know how long i have
been planning
my funeral
of crushed roses.

for this one moment,
everything has turned west,
when i was originally walking north.
for in this one moment,
you are on the other side
of the world,
walking away in your own
direction.
so calm and so reposed.
the beauty speaks in volumes
only us;
only us would know.
i recognize you from
that childhood;
but that girl.
no, she’s grown up.
and i’m starting to think
you’ve mistaken me
for somebody else.

there's always something moving, something passionate and something very real to everything you write.
I am a fan.
