how has time changed you what dreams have you forgotten or abandoned leaving empty spaces in your heart and mind seen by some as a far away look or just plain emptiness that you cannot explain to those who ask is there something wrong a question rarely answered in truth just the typical offering of empty platitudes things are fine nothing to worry about couldn’t be better or some other verbal detour from the truth served up with a practiced smile but closing your eyes you can see that empty space but you decide to move on into the new day without what’s been missing for so long
that clock on the wall doesn’t seem to move at all i’ve been sitting here for an eternity listening and watching that clock on the wall and it hasn’t moved one quarter of an inch while the out pouring of words seems quite disproportionate to the time that passed i’ve swung my feet in every possible direction while posed upon this pew and been told by mom to just sit still until the sermons done but it seems to me he’s attempting to recreate what god took six days to do why can’t we just cut to the chase and get to that final amen
i travel an empty road night driving away from you your tears still fresh in my eyes last meeting my choice inside something just didn’t feel right you’re perfect in everyone’s eyes but mine my words weren’t heard by you hurt deafens finally just walked away nothing left to say nothing to hear but the silence of an empty road
there’s an unevenness to life causing our unsteady gait as we travel through our lifetime oh we can map out the smallest details but nothing ever goes as planned the terrain changes around us as if manipulated by some unseen force or perhaps random quakes from the earth beneath us the cause really doesn’t matter just how one regains their footing
night embraces you in cloth of hidden shadows with sequin street lights pulsing through the growing fog sanctuary for nightmares moments unwanted making you conscious of death and unable to sleep
