Scattered

Shaken breath, rolling tears , drowning in a sea of fears.
Truths unspoken can surely calm, the haunting wreckage of the storm.

Drifting in a ocean of ignorance, searching for the life vest to take a stance.
Portioned out in limited amounts, going north, east, west, and never south

In pieces and parts and parts and specs, where you are is what your heart reflects.
Ever standing at your back, hoping to bring what you feel you lack.

While you continue to travel on, next time you seek will I gone?
Not knowing if to go or stay, living that pressure every day.

Waiting to search, searching to find, trying to catch up from behind
When you turn around and I’m not there, will you come from me, or just not care?

Trying to created larger pieces of you, to have more and to hold on to
Always longer than should have been ,wishing you here again and again.

Feeling you go before you leave, knowing you’re not really here with me.
Standing together yet, miles apart, being out of this moment from the very start.

Not feeling a chance, not willing to try, longing for hope and coming up dry
Scrounging for seconds and finding some, then searching for moments that never come.

Unable to build hours of memories true, unable to build true moments with you.
You've close your heart within yourself, I've placed my heart back on the shelf.
