Your words
Are the memories I've
Forgotten, drowned out
In the cacophony because
I'm trying to lose
The self I never wanted
To find.

Your voice
Is the melody
Of the gilded leaves'
Susurration.
The childhood
I never wanted
To misplace.

You are
The breeze
The leaves
The trees, the sky, the earth,
The ground which welcomed me
Back from the sky
I wanted so desperately to
Capture but knew I
Never could.

The sound of car wheels
Takes over the rustle of
Tin cans and broken glass
Reminding me of the windchimes
We used to make.
Dyed red but still
Beautiful.

The sunset to your sunrise
Perhaps that's all I
Can ever be
But in the end
That is all
I ever wanted.
Hm... it's a bit like what I feel sometimes, when I read someone else's poetry. At least the first line. I'm outside on my porch right now, in the shade, with sunlight shining on the trees... and so, this moment decided to be captured.
