I wait
At the docks
Watching waves
Seeing skies
Come close
I
Cry
For those lost
At war
At sea
It’s
Not a battle
It’s not a truth
They all lie
About you
For me.
I hate knowing the verity
Of it all. I
Hate that you’re gone
But here
The two sides
Pull at me, threatening
To tear me apart.
I know either way, it won’t end
The way I want
It to.
The chords you played
They stayed
In my mind,
My soul
My heart
The keys, the strokes
They stay
That way.
The piano you played,
Lies there
Still tuned
Still fine, still great
Like you.
Like you, it shines
It glows
It knows.
The C’s and D’s
Echo in my thoughts.
The E’s and F’s
Remain excellent.
The G’s, and A’s, the B’s
Go on.
They gab, they jab
At my wait.
I hate the mock,
The lock
You’ve placed.
I fear no tears,
But the wait.
These times,
These seconds,
Spent for you.
Crying, Dying,
It’s meant for you.
Even if my hands bleed,
I’ll keep writing to you.
Even
In my darkest need,
I’ll hold fast for you.
World wrings
My cherished things
But it can’t try
To make me cry.
I’ll save
I’ll save
I’ll save
