Elucidating Questions

If I could find you now

In this ever changing town

I’d be one step closer to the answer why I found you in a darkened night when the time was right

No one saw the sight when they found me.

And I evade it now, all the reasons how

And why you’re not right beside me.

I would say I’m older than I was back then, but the times haven’t changed and the days stayed the same

Sometimes it overflows and even though I know you’d be better off alone I still find me

In places you once called in darkness all alone I tried to find the light I didn’t pick a side

I tried to find you there, but without a care you just continued on without me

If I looked under the bed would it wake the dead that’s taken over my every day nothing?

And if I mourned you there would you even care or would I see you laughing at me softly.

I’ve never felt more alive than when I saw you thrive but now I see I’ve been looking at nothing

Or so I tell myself, to keep it on the shelf and stop the words I want from overflowing.

Somewhere in your eyes I see such wonderful skies there’s nothing left to hide I know you’re thinking

But when you hide the light and keep away the bright

Blue or grey I love them like the storm that is your life I carry it on my side because I love every time

Even the ones that hurt because they brought you first and foremost to me

And my broken battered heart.
