Mostly You
I'm trapped in an absolute despair with you.
when did you slip so deep into me?
I must have rubbed you into my soul without knowing
to the depths even the wind cannot reach.
what was this now?
I had locked my feelings in a tiny box,
tied it to the wing of a crow,
eyes closed,
and let it go into the void we call life.
did you catch it instead?
don’t do this to me.
this heart can’t take another ache.
I keep finding pieces of you in places you’ve never been.
how did you become so familiar
to a heart that barely knows how to open?
pull me to the shore, let me go, I know you won’t.
find that crow I once sent away,
for I must ask it why
it brought you back to me.
