Mind Skip

Rarely, and I mean RARELY, will I return to a piece that wasn't finished at its inception. But this one called again and again quietly until finished... I hope for you, constant reader, it was worth the wait. BTW, this piece was started on April 4th 2009 & finished on August 20th 2009.

"Mind Skip"

I forgot to tell you
That I left my heart at your feet
My soul in your hands
My desire in your eyes
That you drained me
Exhausted me
And I couldn't be happier
To lay it all down
To serve it all up

I forgot to tell you
That sometimes I cry
Shut down in silence
Because I'm not in the moment
Best to provide solutions;
That I'm selfish and strong
My list of opinions is long
And I couldn't be happier
To lay it all down
To serve it all up

I forgot to tell you
Because I was too busy
Caught in your grace
Upon your wiles
Lost on the fact
That despite my reserve
I wanted you with each breath exhaled
In relief and possibility
Wanted you
Despite broken promises
Made in the moments
Profound and moist
When breaths and heartbeats are one
Surrounded by an aura of perfection

I forgot to tell you
Because my hope was in time you'd know
Because my hope
Was in time...
