Lost Time

This lonely heart has to much trust in time
I’ve never taken action for there is always tomorrow
These tomorrows are often look upon as empty yesterdays
I refuse instinct for common sense
I’ve watched you walk bye stand in my silent lie
Hoping for some silver screen magic
To sweep you up into my arms
I’ve lost you so many times, just before I seal it with a kiss
My eyes open to realize another day without you
Walking the nights out past the city lights to the star filled sky
I have screamed to the sullen moon
“Why can’t she feel my heart
I’m so lost in this lady
I wake to her
I lay down in hopes to dream of her
Why can’t she feel me”
I listen for no answer
Only the celestial silence
The horizon is a lighter shade of blue
Yet another day lost to you

    This was sad and tearful and I really liked it--especially the lines I quoted above--I've felt this way.

    dear chuck u mann, (very funny anacronym)

    maybe it's just me, but i don't see this as sad. i felt its longing and questioning, yet i also felt its hope, especially the dreaming and the impending sunrise. it expresses the constant thought of something that is meaningful, looked at from many angles -- magic, dreams, fantasy, making sense, wanting answers. these things are a common thread among those with deep love to give.
