Neverknowing

Neverknowing

 

I leave no markings, barely baby crumbs

You made that clear when you whispered I wasn’t the one

Don’t say that now you’re hurt

That’s something you wouldn’t know of

 

I can see memories floating

Far away and you left me there

Lost in the way you spoke to me

Everything laid for you to grab hold to

But never knowing what you had until it was gone

 

I dream beautiful scenes to come

A wanderer in the fields of fall

Never claimed perfect, journey might not be worth it

If so, I didn’t give you away

 

Till it was gone

So long

Don’t play that tone with me

I wanted to be there through all the pain

Even the pain you wouldn’t show me

I was there for as long as I could take

But my time in limbo, I was dying
