These emotions, they ride me ceaselessly My heart craving to be elsewhere My mind craving to be elsewhere My eyes craving to see elsewhen Where they beheld les yeux bleu du mon amour et nous lèvres embrassé tendres avec bisous tres sucré... When saline tears came as easily as the ocean and just as preciously before needing to surf these waves being pummeled with a smattered education and a learning that comes unquickly Am I not wise enough? Am I too old for love? Too bent in my ways Too smart for my own good? Have I lost the will to play? The questioning comes as fiercely As steadily as he ever swore I caused him to do I said I could handle it better than he… And still, I suffer mercilessly helplessly with only our memories to comfort me That he wished to be free of this miserable pain That he wished to be untortured That he wished to escape to worlds known-but-unfamiliar In the comfort of friends incomplete That I want to die so thoroughly a death to all I know to all I am to all I’ve ever learned… Am I so different from he? Please, meet me in a place where we promised to meet In a time that is Now Yesterday Far-away In Neverland In Wonderland In our land Where healing never happens because pain never was Where the ocean is for beauty Bubbling kissing our toes our ankles our knees Where water becomes us and we become the sea
