Back again

Wrestling with words
you never spoke
coping with
the collisions
the silence was to evoke

Wanting the misery
to take its
place,
the smile anyway
is more painful to the face

Paranoid for a trace
lost in a cascading embrace
embedded deep within
are traces
of the unforgettable
grimace

This silence
has a different sound
over and over
come and
hear it echo
in my head

Behind closed
memories,
years
are gearing up
The yearn
is growing
to let it slip
for once

Controlling the yearn
shape the
tears
I routed
to your name
thy grace
and cheers

I lost my
place,
the chance
to pucker up
and gain
my trust again

now I write songs
in echo
of your wake

Don't you want to approve?
Don't you want the sound
that once made you sway?

I've made my bucket list
and
I'm floating with the letters
in my head

And like tomorrow
there'll be thoughts of y'day

I'll look out for me
when I lookout for you
And until I find
the one in me
I'll keep searching
coming back for you ...
