• Feeling neither kindness nor pain
    the seasons slipped by without a sound
    asleep with my eyes open
    Sitting in my room
    watching the shadows shift across the floor
    the windows clouded over with dust
    until I could only see light and dark
    sitting among broken dreams
    no one even came to the door
    I don’t remember when exactly I left that place
    the town was blue in the morning stillness
    frozen with trampled snow and melting ice
    I don’t think you even realized you were speaking
    but you called me from the nightmare
    even though you were always far away
    I carved a starting line in the snow that day
    never stopping until I could reach the comfort I wanted
    Looking back down that darkened road makes me sad
    let’s only look ahead
    Your foot prints next to mine is all I need
    those twisted times don’t matter
    we have found each other
