And so you’re
Silent and faraway
Like the missing
Last few pages
Of favorite stories
I make up
An ending fit
For a princess
Because I fear
That the way
We really end
Is the way
That we are
And so you’re
Silent and faraway
Like the missing
Last few pages
Of favorite stories
I make up
An ending fit
For a princess
Because I fear
That the way
We really end
Is the way
That we are
I’m something to
Many and nothing
To the others
Like coal can
Also be a
Diamond but likely
It’s just coal
To be used
Burnt and forgotten
Rather than kept
And finally revered
And the melodies
Make me bob
And hum like
Tiny birds moving
From the blossoms
Of words taking
What I can
And pollinating
Just this page
In loves absence
You think you
Suffer but here’s
The truth in
Loves absence it’s
Not really gone
It’s that you’re
Not sharing selfish
In love causes
Your simple suffering
I’m like a
Bird on wire
Teetering uncertain where
To next but
Knowing that my
Wings will get
Me there eventually
I’m not worried
As I’ve fallen
Before the skies
Are mine let
The ground for
Those who cannot
Soar towards heaven
