Never the first choice

Eventhough the light beckons me closer

Shadows of yesteryear dance across unfocused irises

Just like that the light is gone

It takes away a part of me too

It floats and flutters to uneven depths

One that hopes for more to come

I could wait all night just to be near

To hear, see, breathe you in

A foolish thing to think, to want

Sometimes it seems more like a needle in the haystack

How close I see things

Forbidden from your memory

Showing I care

Except you already had someone near

I'm sure she even calls you dear

Living in fear instead of the happiness you speak of

Distractions, destruction, are these our lullabies?

Relationships built on lies?

Hearing somebody cry? Wiping away the tear stained alibis?

The evidence is against you

My heart, the eviction, the conviction that holds me together in the everlong abyss of loving you.
