Baby Blue.
Your misguided roses tempt me
Images of those mysterious eyes
continue to captivate me.
So now that the petals have wilted
and your loving stare...
has all but turned into a haunting glare.
Just a picture & a handful of memories
is all we seem to have left.
Keepsakes burn at hand, tears in their own struggle.
Your echoing departure rings in my ears.
I tug on the earrings
the ones you said were your favorite.
I look down at my baby blue shirt...
Your baby.. your blue... your girl...
I am well aware of your absence, thank you.
How could I possibly attempt to forget?
Your every emotion lines my shelves.
If i strain my eyes with unbridled passion
I can sometimes will away
those, oh, so evident tears.
I adore your memories these days..
Every once in a while,
A few slip through the spaces
between my fingers... the spaces you used to fill.
Don't be dismayed by your lonliness
It will be eternities before you lose all of me...
I promise. I promise.
When that sure moment blows in...
the wind-altering, shadow changing moment
Embellish it to true greatness...
I knew that our intentions were right
But the dark, star encrusted sky closed over.
And the stars blew themselves out
faster than either of us could hope to breathe.
Its cruel repertoire of actions
have brought us up until this moment today.
We have been... traumatized, tortured,
they've tried to tear us apart.
Let us turn our focus
All memories, minutes...
All months, moments...
to the end of our last hours...
To each other...
To each other...
Each other's first...
We will be each other's last...
We already are each other's everything.
