The Return Poem by James Casey

The Return

I can’t believe, that when the day is done
You would let me walk into the sun

And away from you, until the end of time.
Forever and ever, never to be mine

Just a catch in the throat, a tear in the eye
Broken, hatched, and waving goodbye

Voices may struggle for the proper verse
Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.

But my soul speaks no language of man
I don’t think my heart even really can

Flying on the wings of a million birds.
In the end, it’s just the same old words

No one’s worth the tears you cry
And the one that is won’t even try

To hurt you, like you’ve been hurt before
Like me, walking through your door

I'm here to love you til the end of time
I know you'll always be glad I made you mine

Thanks for coming back to me
