Tenderly

The day is a constant groove, berries and wine

from here, this evening, the courage to dare

the courage to picture a life I do not know

 

Never warm, never stung

this is a listless place, swaying where I stand

this, the lone, solitary window

 

The soft glow of twilight

my eyes, they swell at the darkness

the moments that are few

 

Those sparing times of assertion

what of those fickle thoughts?

they do not console me.

 

Everything, quiet

Everything, estranged

The letters of these books blend

 

Berries and wine

Sometimes champagne

Sometimes blanc

 

This is a desolate place

just as the mind that never aspires

that world outside that glass

 

The day does not start

it does not end

sunset pacifies me, and the sunrise is never mine

 

The Sun only sees me pale

and I it

as it leaves behind those moments

 

Those moments

that people live for

safe from the candor

 

Safe from the hilt of its dagger

and those last goodbyes

All that love that I will never know.
