Still

You left and weren't alone long,

I've been alone forever.
I left to find the word home,
just to arrive to it gone,
I missed more than the message, I'm guessing.
This lesson, I get it, but still go without,
it needs to mean more,
but still go without,
I tire of going within.
Burnt, and the scar itches,
the abundance of riches,
switches and the tragedy is lonely.
Bandages ripped quick, is the best way,
the only way - I know, that isn't this.
Jesus needed Judas to exist,
I know, that isn't this.
Greeting cards with blood drawn,
altruistic and selfish,
ask the fish about the water,
I'm gambling with no risk again.
I let go like the next heart beat,
I'm dead in the silence, until my purpose kicks in,
and there you are smiling at me.
Everyday, in every golden crevice that adorns Versailles,
every night when my blanket is the spell that unleashes these dreams.
I've been searching for a way out,
with every 4 am confession,
everything makes sense, but nothing make my senses tingle.
I'm daydreaming in front of the Eiffel tower, guess where I am.
If you could only know me now,
you would be proud.
It took its time to distil, it's so potent,
I play with the way it thrills,
but my eyes are only half open,
Looking over their shoulder,
scanning the horizon for the sunlight,
that echoes the new day forward.
I want you to know it.
Who you are to do this to someone,
precious like the ozone,
clean water,
good food,
love.
I will always have hope.
Even though it costs me
everyone,
every time.










I sit transfixed in the lotus,
in front of the candle.
All that remains of a fire,
that burnt this world into existence.
And the warmth is a light that flickers softly.
I'm alone here, but still a willing prisoner,
for in this moment of head bowed weakness,
it is still my greatest strength,
to care for the dull glow.

Hope is stronger than pain.
