The Spaces in Between

The hardest single time that we fell upon overcame us like a god

Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons

But I turn the pieces over like I need them

And maybe in some way I do

I dare not now return for the roar of memories

Or to see how slight a trace we left of our lives

In another time, in another place

You are standing there

Above me

My head in your hands

And you know....

You live in everything I love

And everything I’ll never be

You’re traced in everything I touch

You are the rhythm of my days

And the spaces in between

The darkness I defined has not forgotten me

But ever presses closer the bounds of my reach

Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons -

A silence says it all;

It comes to remind me who I am
