"I Found Others"

03/16/2012

I remember only impressions 

In the mirror I held of you,

But now speak my name, 
Soft, so softly
Whisper and I will too
For I have longed to seek you out
To unsay what I have said
And all the places you have stayed
Are all the minds that you have read


Hey! Could you tell me the truth?
Actions never lie
Not to you and not to I

So it's been a year 
A year since we met
Since I took your hand
And a year to forget

I wish upon the stars that shine
For something to move 
For this love to bind. 
And I will swear upon
This hope of change
To your mind 
Your bird in a cage 

And I'll tell you why, my friend
I'll tell you why.

I found others.

I can touch.

I can kiss.

You're swimming through rivers

Through your own created bliss

This violence and melancholy

A lust I can't resist

But I gave you my best

Though your debt, Dear, is due.

Don't say goodbye to me,

I will neither murder you.
