This sadness taking hold of me has nothing to do with you And everything to do with you The idea of us two That will never come true Has me gazing at the wide open blue Of the sky asking "Why God?" Why send a soul to me destined to leave? One so vibrant and heavenly, A soul that yearns to be free And yet still sees me To connect with the random and still remain a mystery, that » Continue Reading

Her silhouette appears as the neon lights change hues I watched her dance with admiration as hopeful lovers do.
