Home

I’ve touched thousands of hands Heard thousands more voices And not a single touch felt like fire in my veins Nor a single voice, sound like coming home Until you.

The feeling of despair Like swallowing darkness that lingers and pools deep within your body The kind of pitch black you only find in the far corner of the room, Wondering what might be staring back With a weight so heavy you can’t bear it But impossible to release.

Waiting

My darling, it’s been lifetimes… So, even though I lost the memories, My soul will never forget the feeling. It may take years, but I will find you in every life I live, And even through this waiting, I am always yours.
