Every Moment Without You

Tearful reflections leave me helpless,
Accomplish all I’ve yet to prove,
To flow down drain-less roads,
With all I came to lose,
Eyelids melt like feathered wings,
Heart stuck like lips with glue,
I’ll forever stay a dreamer,
Every moment without you

The umbrella underfoot is broken,
For a certain time could stay afloat,
Like fused hand’s anchor sinks below,
Reading Juliet’s last love note,
My arms reach to free myself,
Knowing sinking dreams can’t come true,
And everything falls gravity bound,
Every moment without you

I’ve paced myself mazed down this road,
I’ve witnessed every platform prize,
But I’ve left that road to eternity,
Just to look into your eyes,
A beggar strides away with cup,
With yarn ball feet attached to you,
Drip stranded barbell tears down cheek,
Every moment without you

Bravely set forth toward setting sun,
The wall between us built complete,
For all the words I’ve yet to tell,
Cannot escape my reversed feet,
Every moment waits to arrive,
Like the morning sky of blue,
Starless nights and sunlit flights,
Every moment without you

All my limbs are tugging hooks,
Like ruling puppeteer at hand,
And if these strings were cords of heart,
They would stretch across the land,
A harp on mouth that jail keeps,
Singing sweet songs praising you,
But instead I’m left to silence here,
Every moment without you
