Elucidating Questions

There was a time when I saw things that couldn’t be seen

There was a time I did things that couldn’t be done

There was a place I went, places no one could get to

But you didn’t come

I ran a thousand miles to get here

And a thousand miles between

And in all those spaces I was sure that I was the kueen to your qing.

When all the lines are borrowed and all the words replay

Another place a different time a day other than today

Patiently waiting and weathering the storm wondering if you’d ever be home

But you’re away

I ran a thousand miles to get here

And a thousand in between

Losing faces falling graces empress emperor reversing

The language too constricting the tightness in my throat

I wished until it was horse and I couldn’t scream it out

I held on so tightly strung together with my doubt

But you’re not

But I’m not

We’re not okay
