215. Feel This Way

Published on 22 April 2017 at 02:49

I feel alone; yet I am forever with her.

My mind is lost, it remains astir. 

The world I see, frozen in a kind of reality,

yet it is not of that which I dream. 

It has become a sad mistake,

to where my heart is no longer awake.

And as I drink... drink until I am dead,

there are no better words left unsaid

than those that have buried themselves. 

Hidden beneath a wishing well,

I’ve grown, not old, but older,

to where my heart wishes to hold her.

And I fear that I must not do so,

as I’ve no idea where she will go.

I can’t let her get too close,

or else she’ll be haunted by my ghost.

The voices I hear, or have heard,

call out my name, which sounds absurd.

They ask for me to go with them.

To make this day the very end.

I haven’t listened to them yet,

because I don’t think my life is set. 

I’ve got quite a lot more writing to do,

more places to see, to see with you.

And yet, in all this time, I still feel alone.

Perhaps one day I will find a home,

hopefully somewhere I know we’ll be safe. 

A kind of paradise, a perfect place.

Maybe, just maybe, one day,

but until then, I’ll always feel this way.
