random thoughts - poem

Staring into the night sky
I have to stop
and wonder why
the world is
as it is

Slowly the hours tick past
'till I am alone
at last
with my thoughts
minus my dreams

And I wonder
how high
That butterfly can fly
before he falls
and dies

And when I look at you
I see at last
A smile that is true
True to itself
and no one else

You lie to me, to her, to him , to them
and you make me cry
for you , for me, for her and him
and all of them

And dreams fall apart
with every beat
of my breaking heart
and I kiss you one last time
and never even say goodbye

My mind races
with endless thoughts
and old forgotten faces
fearing that one day
you will number among the forgotten

There is so much of you
that has been given to me
I'm telling this true
because as I inhale deeply
it is your face I see

Just know
time may pass
but wherever you may go
We are one
in some small way
