alone time
Each day the hustle and bustle floods my ears and robs me of my rest. All I want is to breathe, hear nothing for just a moment. But I never had it, never will. Except that's a lie. I have had that, when I'm with you all fades away. No noise, No pain, Nothing. Just you. And that, is pure beauty. You are pure beauty. No matter how much this world kicks you down to the dirt and covers you in it. Because I see past it, I see past your disguise. Your disguise of mockery and hate, But it's like fate, seeing your face each day, Hearing your voice each day, Knowing you're the reason I'm still here, Why in writing this. You are the one that made me see that I need to get out of bed each day so I can make them all liars! So I can prove you are one of those liars. And you may be miles away, But I will never stray. This path is the only place I can write my story. You took yours, I'll take mine. I hope we meet again some day. But I won't be waiting for you in Heaven, I'll be waiting in the home you said we'd share, Arms open, Ears listening. Walls around it, yes, but you have the strength to break them down. Until then I'll be here, Having my alone time while I wait for you.
