This is a very personal piece, written a year ago, and unrelated to any of my previous posts
So bear with me.
I have to leave you now
Goodnight and Goodbye
Until some time in the future....?
Lightheartedness faked
I smile, and let you go
The miles begin to separate
And the urge grows stronger
Everything inside screaming
Turn back - RETURN!
I floor the gas pedal
Burning up the road
But speed cannot fill the hole
You left
I cannot box you away.
My heart itself betrays me
I can think of nothing else
Your soft voice telling me stories
Late into the night
I punish it for it's treachery
I push it far away
Sulkily it retaliates
Telling me I will ever be alone.
Too far away for the Knight to rescue
Too surrounded by problems and Dragons
Too far away for him to hear my call
Dying alone; old, sad, and alone
Nor - if only I'll turn around....
I turn the volume up
The radio blares out into the night
It can push away the thoughts, for sure
Deaden the thoughts
Remove the thoughts
Make the turmoil cease
But every song is about you
About moments together that
Will not be
I change the channels to no avail
There is nothing I can do
I give up trying and let
The tears fall freely
Almost there, almost there
I can let sleep draw me into oblivion.
