obtuse onyx
I'm sitting again by the window,
Looking outside kids playing indigo.
They look happy and content,
In the days of grief I spent.
Apricity through the curtain,
It won't melt this ice, I'm certain.
(I'm looking at you sitting alone,
I was always there when they were gone.
Perhaps you never noticed me,
Can't blame you-I know how it feels.
I was, I am and I'll be always here,
Whenever you are down, I'll care.)
(Just for once, look in my eyes,
I promise I won't tell you lies.
Give me a chance, you won't regret,
Just smile for me, don't be upset.
I'll write for you, I'll describe you,
Just for once, look it's a clue.)
(Yes, I promised I'll be there,
But something seems unfair.
I hope I had more time,
Staying with you was never a crime.
I'm sorry-It's hard not to stay,
But I don't get to choose, I'll pray.
Just promise me for the last,
You won't get lost in your past.)
I woke to a golden ray's tender glow,
Yet it's warmth couldn't fill the hollow.
I looked for you in each and every line,
But no, just your words in a memory of mine.
Did you leave me, Like the rest,
Or were you a thought I once possessed?
But I promise, though you're gone,
I'll find my way and carry on.
