running fast
trying to catch up with you
running past
all the darkness of my worlds
to get to you
i clasp your hand
near the water where
i mesmerized my visions
while waiting for your presence
to pull me from my gloom
i speak haltingly
trying hard to be the one who
brightens your day
to forget about me for a-while
but the cold that surrounds us
gets in the way of my
message
and the connection we promise
to have is broken away
by my own frustrations and
the clouds of my day
time slips by
and all i can do is stare silently
and walk away
(quiet)
