Each and every time
I’m sure I saw a rainbow
Not beyond our grasp
A duet I attempted
Unaccompanied, unbeknownst
Stalled, partway through
For, I looked around to see
At last, see
You
Eyes askew
Singing some other song
Or, perhaps no song at all
A duet I attempted
I still hear, distantly
Voices of us
Together at the keyboard
Fallen on deaf ears, eternally
You
Struck a chord with me
Yet, I admit, it may be
An ensemble I forced, forgive me
Omnipresent ache
Your absence upon my eyes
My hope you’ll return
Afire, awaiting
Take a step back and come back
To chaos promised
All we’ve ever built
You recall you’ve done alone
Selfish memory
My background’s back there.
And, to my future, hear this:
The present’s what’s mine!
I cannot care, Love
Color Me cruel, and recall
You wished my demise
I counted twelve notes
I thought of honest fingers
I was Endless Love
And shame kept you
These green eyes
Left alone
So alone
These long days
And silence stole you
These aching arms
Holding on
Holding nothingness
These words failed
And shame kept you
