Unfinished

I have all but cried
The truths hiding
Within my eyes

I have tried
To make my words fly
Suspended on hopeful things
Suspended on my blackened wings

Forever, I promised.
And yet now, somehow
Time is running
Far far away
From today

It seems I have
All the pieces
Just not the means
Of making something whole
For now it seems
Something is lost
Amongst the leaves
Dried up and broken
By the sound of your footsteps

But I must follow
I shall know
If reaching out
Shall make you go
For I have been waiting
But I guess it is so
These days will fly
Between you and I
A gap ever growing
I must live without ever knowing

I want to drown
In the hopes of tomorrow
But it exists no more
Your eyes look me sorrow
And yet I stupidly wish for
A day where I can borrow

The mind
The heart
The life
Of someone who is not I.
For maybe then.
You can find.
It in yourself.
To love me too.
If only you knew.
