I try to see
to understand
someone like you
someone so grand
beyond my scope
thrown for a loop
my soul on fire
my world is too

Until you’re gone
then the flame fades
not at my will
at yours it seems
you told me, so you think it’s fair
your denial is only fair in dreams

I speak in prose,
it’s nothing new,
to say things that are hard to say,
this open heart now closed for you,
don’t contact me ‘some other day’.
