Clouds blanket the earth
Against your chest, I lie still
Breathing in and out
Clouds blanket the earth
Against your chest, I lie still
Breathing in and out
Heart swelling with love
Like high tide on a full moon
Sudden clarity
Frozen emotions
Trapped inside an aching heart
Thawing in the sun
Lowering my fists
Acknowledging the trauma
Easing out the tears
Hanging up the phone
Abandoning all patience
Discarding the scraps
A thin but strong thread
Dreamer with feet on fire
Your hand still in mine
Oh how things have changed
You once thought I was the sun
Now I am the moon
Typing to a ghost
Communication is false
Through digital means
Before having tea
Looking far away and pained
In the morning light
Futon on the floor
Wretched ringing in my ears
Absorbing neglect
