You make me wish for tomorrow
I try to follow
I wonder why
Yet you let me go

Words do not justify
Your deeds
or lack of
Maybe I am naive

My hope and prayers
Like a hungry thirst
Upon a desert landscape
Only I can solve

Should I run
Or should I bleed
From wounds opened
By you

Your past only haunts
Our future
By which you stand fast
Making a joke of our plans

Moving on
Beyond you garden of ill
Spoils me
To the unworthy

Two weeks of sad
Only makes me
Wish
Why

I know where this will lead
A break in the moment
From which you laugh
Holding on to a ghost

I will march from this
As I always do
Breaking faith
We will surely do

Only you can know
Why we are here
As such
I remain only for you

Steve, it's good to be back, for sure, though I'm not spending nearly as much time as I once did...too much fresh air and warm weather out there to let it go to waste!

keep on writing!
