Talking Trees

Posted in User Submitted on March 5th, 2010

Walking alone,
Down the stairs that keep me up,
I walk under the archway and stop,
The wind is a slow push and cool on my face.
The sky is Grey and the ground is wet,
The sun tries to burn through, but all is heavy.
I’m listening alone,
Breezy memories drag through the date palms,
Bending them slow, bidding hush to all standing close
Sssshhhh..
Be calm, Sssshhh..
Nothing is around me,
I can’t fight the soft kiss of a memory gone.
Sssshhhh… They tell me to let it in,
I whisper back, Sssshhhhhh and I’ll tell you,
The name of who can never be said,
And as that part of time past scraps through my head,
Unit I won’t want to think anymore,
They’ll bid me hush.
Ssssshhhhh…..
And I’ll remember that nothing is ever okay,
And I’ll return,
Walking alone with that breeze of lonely days gone by,
Remembering that I’m alone without her.
Knowing that nothing is the same,
Ssshhh… I see the sun now.
It’s like her smile,
The way it would shine on her pretty wings,
Will stay burned into me forever,
Like the want I feel,
Like the sorrow that will always be me,
Sssshhhhh…. and nothing will be okay.
Nothing is around me, near me, or in me,
She still has my heart and I don’t want it back,
My soul reaches for her in the dark.
Sssshhh….I can’t because I’m screaming for her inside,
The feelings stroke my face, cold fingers on the silent creep,
Warm embrace of the lost love.
Sssshhhh…be calm, I’ll see her in everything,
But again in nothing because again,
Nothing will ever be alright.
Ssshhhhh……

I miss her with all of my heart.
