Time

Glen Arbor, MI 2020

A dream to be heard.

Your silence deafened, both our ears.

I screamed; peacefully,

You slept next to me.

My fears of you grew, as you threw me –

Away, I thought I was clear

Can anyone hear? This coming gale;

When I said tears fill my ears, though you drowned

Out the sounds, Like

Men I ignored, who adored me more.

Then your love could afford;

This is me trying, why can’t I stop

Crying, all night I wait for another;

Fight for me please, though I do not see reality.

Is there a light, at the end of this tunnel?

Or another brick wall, I can’t seem to break through

For you I am weak, won’t you be my rest?

What happened to giving me your best? Help;

Me understand, This man I once knew.

True love like wine, grapes fresh off the vine.

Was time all we needed?

Though the seeds of contempt, rooted

Love taken to the tomb, we’ve lost;

I ask you, how worth was the cost?

How rich your pride,

As I died; in your arms covered in scars.

Do you see me in the stars at peace?

Humming our tune, reminiscing of you

Whispering back, I love you too.

I know you saw me trying.

Relief echoes; to easy your goodbye.

Though every starry night, you see me

shining; Oh so bright.
