salvaging an almost gone...

My greatest ally, my trusted friend
I know you know, lets not pretend
Lets take this time, just you and I
and think a while of the days gone by

You’ve heard my words, my dismal rhymes
When one commits a deed, one does the time
and I’m no exception, I’m a dozen a dime
but disproportionately punished to an unintentional crime

But those were in the early glow

Of feelings since subdued by care

And they have died so long ago

I hardly now believe they were

I twisted an ankle when I leapt that day,
The leap in itself, I though would convey
But if this mans simple words fell on deaf ears
Then just nod your head, do away with fears

I reluctantly wrote a passage in a book dismissed
Found a raven’s nest, befriended the mist…

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin...

Wheres the promised land, if I may be so bold
Just because she glitters, doesn’t mean you’ve hit gold

and you speak with an air of finality, my dearest friend… beware

pegging one’s hopes to something as ethereal as air?
I’m convinced that with numbers and patterns I’ve lost my soul
That time shall take its toll, that embers shall burn with coal
And that years from today, a shrug of the shoulders and the past aside
That I shall forget where you reside, that even dirt shifts when our feet stride…
