Departures

Today all colors are bleeding.

Across the ocean.

I am sorry I couldn't stay.

How does it feel to own what you are.

To unstitch your heart without causing a flood.

To fall but never ceasing to believe.

In light taking over darkness.

To breathe life in serenity.

If only I knew how to forgive.

If only I knew how to let go.

If only I knew how to own what I am.

Galaxies away.

I am riding the waves of the lost.

Lead this ship astray.

Make me hate you again.

Fear, trust, guilt, love.

In the grip of a coming storm.

I am sinking under the weight of a troubled sun.

When bitterness conquered the heart.

And left us crawling in the cold.

Screaming worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower.

Always too soon. Always too late. Always in between.

If only I knew how to forgive.

If only I knew how to let go.

If only I knew how to own what I am.
