The Hours

[audiofool]

You were taken from me
wounds invisible and deep
where the curious can't see
the hours deprive me of sleep

doors come unhinged
winged ones flutter and fall
the unraveling begins
I'm inclined to crawl

where did the shadows run?
escape the unforgiving sun
wind whispers all I fear
no direction on a trail of tears

waking up to the sting
buzzing hive of busy-ness
in the air desperation clings
yielding to the emptiness

days of futility ticking past
our small world not meant to last
I'll see you in another state
another sock without a mate

you're fixed like a star
in a late August sky
and there you are
you're everything in my eyes.
