Hush...

I lock myself in

I lock myself out

Try not to weather in

Every whim that fancies a doubt

I push myself here

I push myself there

Want to push away that thought

That follows me everywhere

Reflections

It’s not when you are not here that it hurts so much…

It’s when I know you’ll always be there…and yet….

Like water slipping through my fingers…

The harder I try to hold on….

The faster you seem to slip away…

You are not mine to keep….

I am not yours to weep…

Like every measured heartbeat….

It hurts so deep….

I dare not say anymore…not today…nor tomorrow…

Coz every second spent in your presence was mine to reap…..

I try and reach out …..

But empty space is all that I can feel about….

A simple wish…..

Seems to have been washed away in an early swish…

It’s been long gone now….

With every memory imprinted like a rock…

I graciously walked away with a bow….

But you’ve left with me a key for which there exists no lock....
