Mistake the Knowing
Bright stars hidden behind clouds start to break through lighting the tops of the trees so the crickets can sing.
overrun thoughts loosing the sense of the what's expected idea only to slowly dissolve as time stands noiseless with a broken heart still beating.
A moment of silence I thought was you, and I waited till the silence of nothing to come.
Forgotten forlorn I was standing weak reaching far and high being lured in and with no compunction, your mind is of no surprise of yesterday's today.
Stuttering sighs mistake the knowing consequences from one side bringing the lingering thought that never leaves, leaving dejection and desolate weak worn soles I walk thick to thin.
The bitter taste of rejection of no remedy seeps deep within my starving soul, lost and damaged I've let you go.
