Left Behind

It hangs like doom
Just above our heads
Our hearts
Threatening to come down
Crashing

It hangs like a dream
Tantalizing, terrifying
Just out of reach
There for me to grasp
And make my own

It hangs like uncertainty
Unclear and foggy
Threatening to engulf you
In a maddening maze

It spreads like lead
Through our hearts
Making them heavy
And our thread
Thinner, fainter

It spreads like fire
Through my being
Burning with pain
And passion
Both waiting
For direction

It spreads like dread
Through your insides
Making you ache and yearn
Wishing for time
To crystallize
Right here

It feels like
A thousand emotions
And no words
Misty eyes
And one syllable

Because I had wings
To take flight
To reach the stars
To claim the sky
And you
You could chase a tornado
You could claim the earth
You got left behind

"Bright lights, big city
She dreams of love
Bright lights, big city
He lives to run"
