I
found you once
While
I was hiding in the shelter of solitude
But
you were tucked deep in the darkest places
Unmasked,
all of your many faces
Illuminated
by all of your potential, I found you
In
that moment, I vowed to never let you go
But
truth be told
You’re
the only thing that saved me
You
made me a believer with all of your impossibility
Turned
practical in the matter of instants
The
reality that I could be the one that wins it
Even
if just for a moment
What
others would die for
Have
killed for
I
found spilling over
Ready
to change the heart
Of
an all un-expecting
Never
regretting
Fragile
yet invincible spirit
That
spirit was me
In
all of my destitute, you redeemed me
I
had prayed for you
For
salvation from the pain
To
regain my consciousness
I
was dying, you know?
Drowning
in the realness of humanity
But
you challenged me
To
be greater
And
to think deeper than even boundless dreamers
And
I did
I
held on tight
Even
if only for a moment
And
you were just right
Even
if only to me
And
I
Will
never
Regret
knowing the depth of your existence
Even
now that I remain confined in the prison of your memory
In
faint moments, those memories are all that I have
To
remind me of your presence
To
secure your existence
In
those memories, I’m free again
Happy
tears of a faded friend
Truth
bends
And
lies prevail
But
reality is unyielding
Time
and time again it proves your being
But
if seeing is believing
You’ll
be left lifeless in the minds of the brokenhearted
Because
you can’t be seen
Only
felt
And
I found you
Hiding
Planted
in the perfect place
Perhaps
waiting for a fading spirit
To
have one sweet taste of life through you
You
spared me
But
you gave your time sparingly
Leaving
way faster than you came
Now
in faint moments I can barely remember your name
Love
I’m
terrified you won’t return to me
Yet
I know you can’t be reserved for only me
My
only hope is that your absence is caused
Not
by a loss
But
a short intermediary deficiency
Because
you’re off blessing someone who isn’t me
And
I’ll wait for you
Hoping
that you are not the cousin to the moon
Here
to bring deliverance
Then
gone too soon
Only
appearing in the darkest hour
Shining
your light
But
taking your power with you
I’m
hoping
But
still, if only for that moment
That
your time is borrowed but not lent
It’ll
be enough to give my spirit comfort
So,
until we meet again…
