in holding so still can you still sense what is real?
apologetic and destructive yet still
you’re spinning in place
not much you can change
disease pulls you closer in every day
you’ve been here before
both chaotic and warm
a stale breath of emptiness closing the
door to the future and past
moments too blurry to last
are never coming back
triggered your fight or flight
blast off like satellites
it’s getting harder to fight
you said don’t waste your time on me
all of your attempts to save me will end in defeat
just like every battle you tried to fight for me
when I couldn’t you said oh so gently
when you showed me your heart
I followed you intently into the dark
where you’ll explain you can’t remain
as indifferent as you’ve always been
for reasons I could never comprehend
without timing your plans
you left them all in my hands
here’s hoping they’re spinning in circles again
somewhere else, somewhere new
a better place to renew
false hints in your eye left us on standby
chalk it up to signals misread
find truth in words never said
it never got that bad
pack it up and take it back
never different, never the same
words complicated and plain
couldn’t describe it now
write it up and take it down
left us all with time to react
but still it hurts bad
I saw the signs
didn’t believe it was true
but I know what I saw in your eyes
on a different plane
I spoke to you calmly
you thought of me fondly again
