Forever In Your Wake
February 11, 2012
I've believed in a future
When there wasn't a day.
I've refused the offered tourniquet
Despite the consuming pain.
I've held onto your leading hand
And followed in your wake.
I've waited for you to give me a bit of your soul,
But you only knew how to take.
I waited a thousand nights
To hear your love in song.
I played you the keys and gave you the map,
But by then you were too far gone.
I wandered a hundred years,
And still held onto a soul.
I have to believe for you and me,
You never knew how to not withhold.
