one

 

small tear drop

upon the pillow

through reflection

I know your face

through brown orbs

I see your soul

 

by my side

patiently you wait

for me to finish

having given up so much

to be here now

 

how can I cheer you up?

and make you smile again

upon the edge of everything

 

 

so much to finish

so many things unfinished

knowing no more where to start again

or how to end

 

so many distances spanned

so many directions yet to turn

time will tell us soon enough

deciding the fate of our lives together

and solving our puzzlement

about our common fate

no longer knowing right from wrong

no longer sure what path to take
