Description
Lost.By: Mr. Feather
I'm bad at waiting
I'm even worse at pretending these feelings don't exist
You look at me
and take me apart, piece by piece
a wind tunnel of words
bleeding out into the universe
can you hear-
can you feel?
there's a ghost in the valley
whispering a story
of a lone traveler
in a melting winter
though he didn't quite miss the avalanche
one snowflake
to turn a mountain
into his heart's grave
sleeping beneath the ice
waiting for the light of day
he says,
"can you hear-
can you feel?"
"can you feel what you can't touch or see?"
"cuz I still feel you somewhere close to me"
"closer than all that has numbed me dry"
"pour a little light on me, angel"
"I've had enough of dreaming..it's time to wake up"
But I can't blame you, can I..?
Where the heart leads a wanderer
is his own fault or his own glory
and at the end of a lie or a truth,
he is his only ally and his only enemy
seeking strength in memory or the resolve to act
what a mistake is- is only subjective to him
and the pain untold, he may not allow compassion for
so what voice will wander in to accompany his own?
just wind passing by to remind him the world is still moving
he's a fool,
and he knows it
with only a bittersweet smile to melt the ice,
he looks up at the sky-
remembering "the beginning" and "the end"
forgetting today
[dreaming of "tomorrow"]
he looks up at the sky-
[and dreams of "tomorrow"]
