The SS Lonelyheart

Rewind, rewind
My battered mind
Scars turned white now
But I remember
Was it raining?
It must have been raining
Hot streams rushed wildly down my face
Jungle precipitation
My lungs constricted
You were so heartless
All I wanted to do was bind us together again
Just hold on for dear life
The relationship window ledge
And I was so unhinged
Heartstrings singed
I couldn't breathe
I left you first you would argue
But words and deeds are not the same
I was never really yours
You were never really mine
We were just pretending
That shoreline was neverending
And how I wished love was, too
We never had it
I couldn't force it
It can't be feigned
And all that remained
Was a lonely vessel at sea
You without me
Just me
The lonely

glimpse

Two eyes meeting for the first time
Nerves tense,but only momentarily
Your eyes locked on me, calmly
Not predatory
And I don't even know your name

We already have something in common
A passion matched in intensity
An absolute admiration
A bravery on your part
And I don't even know your name

I have dreamed of speaking with you again
But this time for longer and more in depth
You have such kind eyes
But I don't even know your name

Maybe I am foolish
For imagining conversations I could have with you
You would be the utmost gentleman
Why didn't I ask your name?

I am no good at this
Trying to melt hearts out of thin air
I just can't get you out of my head
Maybe I am not trying,though
Next time, I swear I will ask your name
