i left you go to the wind

the spark of light you are

carried away by the breeze

above the trees of the woods

a baby of the fire lighting your own

above the tree tops

doves mourn and babies cry

and we wish for sleep but it eludes us

so many days i called into the void

and the void never answered me..

just left me cold and broken

i coulda wished i never met you

but the pain and grief seemed worth it

the raw edges of life burning inside

a river breaking the banks

drowning me with emotions that weren't there before (or were buried and forgotten)

a flash flood of grief and anger

with no place to go

just silence
