I Have
I found you, playing musical chairs
in the bar of a harmonious melody
I walked you to your destination
and smiled as you waved me on
though it hurt for me to leave you
I stumbled as I began to walk away
and said something I hope you did not hear
I cried for the times we had
before that moment crushed my hopes
I have fallen into my own confusion
but can not get out on my own
I ask you not to leave me only to
find your promise to never go
and smile because you feel the same
as I
though you hide it much better
than you should
friendship, hope, compassion
when will we have
all we need to survive...
...endlessness
