Time With You

there’s no time
there’s no time left
there’s no time left for you & i

somehow

somehow i blinked
and it was just

gone

your touch on my neck
your smile when you saw me
the joy in my heart
that jumped
at the sight of you
that jumped
at your touch

somehow

the moment that was supposed
to last forever
that i had hoped with all my heart
would last forever

one day

it was just gone
you were gone

we were done

and so was
the time.

Pieces of Me

picking up the pieces
and putting them down again
picking up the pieces
and putting them down again

how do i begin again?
where do i begin again?
why do i begin again?

my life is filled with questions
and right when i finally
line up the answers to fit
someone changes the questions again

there are so many people
who never need to question
there are so many people
who know where they’re going
there are so many people
who never hunger for more
there are so many people
who say it’s enough
and it’s better the evil that you know

the questions haunt me in so many ways

when i sleep
they infiltrate my dreams
when i can’t sleep
they invade my mind

i want

all i know is that i want

nothing complicated
nothing rich

just that elusive inner peace
for more than a fleeting moment

i want
oh how i want
and this wanting never ends

i want
to pick up the pieces
for the last time.
