blocking my view
all that I see
something brand new
in front of me
chasing a high
excitement’s rush
makes me just fly
everything hush
time is a blur
gone in a blink
watch my brain whir
yet I can’t think
focused on this
lost in the drive
what did i miss
feeling alive
I close my eyes
And something dies
Reality doesn’t match these lies
I speak with sighs
My heart won’t rise
Held down with hidden ties
I’m not awake
I cannot break
Can’t let go for your sake
Is it fake
This choice I make
To give and give and never take
I love you so
I hope you know
I pray you never meet my inner foe
I want you to grow
To shine and glow
To be who you are and let it show
She climbs the stairs, she reaches high
So many new words to try
Her baby lips are asking why
Her eyes are watching everything
Never missing anything
The whole world is her plaything
No grasping here, she’s no Macbeth
She has no concept of death
Adventure calls with each new breath
When innocence is driving you
No guile in what you do
Is hope enough to see you through?
Heat map of moments
That took her breath away
Chronicle of choices
When it was wrong to stay
So many reasons
At the end of the day
Whispers of memories
What a price to pay
I drift awake in darkness sweet
My toes caress your sleeping feet
I feel and hear your slumbering sigh
And swiftly how the hours fly
My fingers tangled in your hair
Our breath is mingling in the air
Together curled beneath the sheets
I feel your pulse, your heart it beats
My thoughts are far and yet so near
With hopes as poignant as my fear
