I never thought missing you

would be such an easy thing to do

but now I know the challenge

falls not on me, but on you.

So, farewell my fading memory

and now be on your way

since missing your malice

gets easier by the day.

This stranger called my name,

and claimed to be my blood,

she asked for all my help

to save her from this flood

But I stood my ground and watched

since the only blood I’ve known

was that which she spilled

so many lifetimes ago.

I thought I left behind

all these feelings that betrayed

my heart and my soul

and left my nerves frayed.

–

Then I saw your face

and I knew without a doubt

that I would fall again

all these feelings pouring out.

–

I’d hoped that I could change

but deep down I know I can’t

and loving only you

is a privilege I just can’t grant.

Let’s walk

with no place in mind

like we did

in a kinder time.

Remember

those subtle looks

when love

was all it took.

Slow down,

we can only get so far

before night

leaves its nasty scar.
