Waiting

All night I waited
but you didn't call
and I was afraid

Were you angry?
Were you sad?

My heart was in shreds.

Did you need me?
Or were you being happy
somewhere
with friends or
just by yourself
I was afraid

You were just being brave
and missing me
just as I'm missing you

and waiting

just waiting.

Do you know

You know how
people change
time
society & sorrow
memories that pierce the heart
and linger
ghosts in our attics -
which are you
which will you be?

You know how
you change
wine
sweet & sunshine
every day we are apart
you're stronger
silk strands swaying in the wind
what you will
is what you'll be.

You know how
I changed
swine
oblivious & odd
dreaming up my Utopia
while washed up
against the bleached shores of humanity
why did you
what did you see?

You know
we're changing
sublime
hopes & dreams
two distant stars
dying and colliding
how far will
this light be seen?
