I know where you are
But where did you go?
No heart knows how this makes me cry.
...
There is an oak barrel with a steady, strong spout
No one quite knows what it's really about
But it's full of a thing that may be our "being"
And we wonder if 'twill e'er run out.
...
Can you know someone from a look alone
Can your life be changed from a stare?
One fateful day, you peered my way
And my best laid plans gave way to a dare
...
There is a space within a dark place
Where spots of sunshine may caress my face
And the rays may dry the tears
That stained my cheeks for years
...
How long will we wait, my love
For our souls to intertwine once more?
When we collected each other bit by bit
As seashells on the shore….
...
In the evening of a storm's interlude
Moonless, cloudless
I sit
And listen for rustling trees, perhaps to touch a warm wind swaying them
...
Okay, my friend,
Consider me this:
Are you happy? Overwhelmed? Relieved?
Yet still, does your heart do anything more than breathe?
...
What if
You weren't you
And I weren't me
And we were just two in a dark matter sea

Question Words
I know where you are
But where did you go?
No heart knows how this makes me cry.
I know why you are
But why did you go?
I never even heard a "goodbye."
I cannot understand you
