Watch it as it goes
Out the window,
And out into the world.
Watch as it no longer has a home.
Watch as it slowly slips through your fingers,
But somehow you know it had a piece of your soul.
That void is opening, getting larger,
Slowly drifting out and now you wish it could come back home.
Even for a moment.
Just a moment to return the time
Where you could embrace it,
Or imagine what you could do
If you could pause it for a moment,
But it’s gone… it’s gone.
And it’s right outside your window.
Do you open your window
And let it accompany you as you wake?
Do you let it sing you to bed at night
As your heart slowly breaks?
And you watch it outside your window.
You watch as it slowly fades away,
Into the distance,
Into a memory
That won’t easily escape.
You grab onto the memory.
Let it linger and comfort you once more.
Just right outside the window
It’s begging you,
‘Can I come in through the door?’
This piece came pouring out after the first two lines came to me in song… Thanks for reading.
