Silhouettes

Here we are

Where we are

My head is stuffy

It feels like I'm still asleep

Two days ago I woke up

And fell asleep again

Caught up in a haze

I couldn't keep my eyes open

I fell back

Today the clouds

They set in

And the fairness

It just ain't as fair

Under the heavy shadows

Life plays a different hue

And I don't see you

I didn't see you

No brilliant colors

No light of day

Wrapped in gray

Just crowded numbers

Lines and graphs

A non-stop to and fro

Yes and no

Maybes and I'll-think-about-thats

Homebound

It's all the same

Another day

Just the same

The cars speed by

Fast and slow

To and fro

Still in a haze

Caught in a maze

Lost in our days

Still unsure

Unknown

Unrealized

When will I wake up?

I feel my body but my mind is asleep

I can feel my breathing but my heart is weak

I see you all but there is nothing

There is nothing here

Wake me up

Grape tree

We meet again

How can it be

Emotional atrophy

I don't mean to be mean

I just don't know what to say

Head bowed I silently walk away

I know I'm better than this

Have made a hundred and one cry

I should have stayed to talk some more

But I was the one who said goodbye

Deep down I know it's wrong

Perhaps I am only in denial

To him your heart belongs

This is all a wasteful trial

But I get lost in you over and over again

Disarmed by that face

Broken down, without defenses

And that smile

Such bitterness, such delight

The only one of it's kind

Your eyes talk

They pour into my soul

If we could see eye to eye

My heart would explode

Your grace and demeanor

Your sarcasm and wit

A million conversations waiting

A lifetime of exploring

A year or so too late

Perhaps a bit too late
