The midnight bell has rung my dear
you missed your goal to leave
it seems like as night has drawn near
we've slipped between time's seams.
There still, you sit with tilted head
in silent gaze watch me
perhaps, my love, its time we placed
some distance in between
You on your side of this soft place
and me accross the room
I guess the distance that is felt
will help us start anew
But, maybe as I scoot away
you'll pull my close again.
Forget your goal to leave, and stay
Rest head upon my chin.
But, oh, be strong and meet your goal
I will not coax you more
Here is your coat. Here is the door
but one hug for the road
I'm sorry I let it get so late
ReplyDeleteA moment ago the clock said noon
The sky was blue
I've been in a daze
The moments turned to a haze
I've been looking and looking
For me, not at you.
You've been here almost by coincidence
My coat forgotten at the door
Thinking and thinking what to do
See, the ice has been out.
The frost on the ground.
It's frozen my car
and frozen the road
devoid of sound
That hug I don't know
Where it came, nor where it will go
Because I don't know if you're here anymore
Beyond ghost or crow
Shall I distance that anew may increase?
This doesn't make any sense,
Yet confidence and answers I'm supposed to yield
Without knowledge or preparation to use shield
Hi door, thanks for coming.
I do not envy the time that we meet,
But standing wide open, I guess it's best
To go through your feet.
A man I'm constantly becoming
But where will you be?
Rest Assured
