Just Peachy
Pacing back and forth the hardwood's floor,
watching as shadows follow.
Feeling my heart to hear it's still hollow
fuels my sorrow.
It sadens me, this canopy has yet to reach the sea.
Your words meant as stray statements still
strike me.
My tears sting and so I hide.
My voice? Or whimpering cry pushed aside.
The flood of light shinning through my
windowed-pain berids my bane.
There are always other days. Seeing
all the souls lost sees mine found.
Uniting under one voice gives mine sound.
