In Which…

I saw your smile across the street
against the fog of my mind, a sweet
and unbroken chain of mine
that all consumed this heart.
And it wasn't for me,
but I don't care, it’s a start.

I can’t hear you,
Speak louder!
I’m trying to chase you down that road
I’m trying to reach you
let me touch you
with these scarred but unbroken hands

I see those eyes inside my dreams
clouds brimming full of screams
that echo, inside my mind
and I lean back against the rooftop wall
as i listen to your all
consuming pain
and shame, inside your hands

I see those smiles across the room
glass shattering onto the ground
and you keep walking against the wind
I can save you

Like you saved me.

I can’t hear you,
Please Speak louder!
I’m trying to chase you down that road
I’m trying to reach you
let me touch you
with these scarred but unbroken hands.

I’ll reach you through chain link fences
and whispers passed through halls.
I have my hand over my heart
a prayer upon my lips.

And again.

I can’t hear you,
Speak louder!
I’m trying to chase you down that road
I’m trying to reach you
let me touch you
with these scarred but unbroken hands.

Can you hear me?
I’ll speak louder!
as I chase you down that road!
You can keep on running, but i know
that one day you’ll reach a dead end
and we’ll be able to touch
with these scarred but unbroken hands.
