Raise Your Glass

Crushing to watch it disappear

evaporating into thin air as if it never was..

Oh how I had pictured our moments.. 

One after the other 

never ending..

A love that would finally get the time to be.. to share, to grow, absorbing each other until our breath was one..

We'd only just begun before it was done 

I imagined a slowing of time 

Staying put awhile 

It was not to be

Couldn't keep you still 

We were Beautiful..

why does this darkness feel like it has covered us in filth 

overshadowing the light that lit my way 

You made all my crooked paths straight 

With purpose.. meaning..

So hard to breathe now 

This chokehold will never release me 

I don't wish to be 

Your ghost I want to always see

Human fingerprints permanent stains 

leaving their marks of love all around 

When the sun goes down on us and there's no turning back 

I hope you raise your glass to all that was and your heart is set free

Should you turn around and reach for me

I'll always be a breath away from wherever you will be..
