what might have been

a door left ajar
lets whispering from afar
breathe life into a dream of me and you
i will the spark to die
but still it lights my eye
still makes me feel that this alone is real
and though i know it
i dare not show it
or let this madness make a kill
by dwelling on what might have been
or giving sadness space to fill
i’ll balance on the edge a while
but won’t fall in
i’ll retrace every step
i’ve ever run or crept
hoping i will see what is bleeding me
and when i know it
i won’t show it
or let this madness make a kill
by dwelling on what might have been
or giving sadness space to fill
i’ll balance on the edge a while
but won’t fall in
