Blind

9/24/12

have you forgotten it all within a moment?
does the feeling ever return to you?
or are you blank without passion or virtue?
does all i say simply run through you?
or does it sink in and get lost inside?

for you i cried

every ounce of pain was because i can’t
seem to understand you and what i truly want
one little moment is all it took for me to know
how long did it take for you?

and this depression just will not subside
for you i cried

i ache and scorn as if it makes a difference
resting, roosting in your absence of existence
my heart beats irregularly with the rhythm 
of an imaginary you—me

i never truly said goodbye, did i?
for you i cry

and never truly see. . .
