breathe
for once it seems
as if
the world will let me
breathe
inhale the stars
and exhale the sun
as if that was their plan
all along
for what am i
if not a product
of the world
and its
eternal restlessness
wait
all i can do
is wait where i stand
wait for
the sun to rise
for the moon
to fall
to rest
amidst swaying branches
and flowering glens
to mingle
and mix
with the wind
and the breeze
left behind
if you left me behind
then why do i still feel
every breath we shared
every laugh you gave
every heartbeat i spent
loving all of you
with all of me
if you left me behind
why are you still here
in my heart
in my mind
in my eyes
if you left me behind
then why can't i stop
wishing
i went with you
if you left me behind
then why
do i still
need you
so much
you left me behind
and all i can do
is sit
and wait for you
even though
i know
you will never
come home
