My Voice Must Be Light As Air

We talk small in big spaces
Leaving the words around us empty
 helium balloons floating
Wasn't my voice atmospheric
It's disappearing into the clouds
My muffled thoughts, my meaningless mumbling 
Enter the room before me now
 lagging emotions left in the windowsills 
The sighs escaping my lips etching their homes in the fog forming on the glass
Vanishing quickly
 these fleeting feelings
And me always dragging behind
