Whispers on the Wind

If I could fall forever
No one would ever convince me
That I've been standing
Because I've never felt as lost
As completely upside down as I did
Just now
I find myself pleading in the dark
For days
When I sobbed words of pain
Into your white lab coat
And you had no sweet words to offer
Just a cold embrace
A safe haven
From the cold westerly winds
And nights
That you spent with me
Sitting on your roof
Staring at far off stars
Pretending to comprehend
As I pointed each one out
And though you kept silent as dawn
That half broken smile
Showed me
That in your half broken heart
Something was working
Something was mending the torn seam
And when I cried on your shoulder
In tales of despair and sorrow
You said to me
"You came and melted away the snow,
You smiled and the world drifted,
To a place far from here"¦
I drifted to a place far from here.
And it's so warm,"
To see tears fall from your shallow green eyes
Was a sign
That whatever was working
Whatever was crafting your heart
Back into one whole piece
Had melted all the cold snow
Every last frozen icicle
And dripped them all out
Through the spokes in your iris
And when I fell to you
In a knotted battered heap
Your arms no longer felt so cold
And never did they feel foreign to me
Never did you feel foreign to me
My love
You once knew every nook and every cranny
Every open space of me
You could once navigate
And search your way
Into every cavern of my being
Because when everyone else
Was walking out
You walked in
And as new and paralyzing
As that love had been
I realize now
How fragile I never felt with you
I never had to
And I think of you,
Those kind words,
And hope you still think of me,
"My sweet savior,"
On cold days,
"With eyes like galaxies,"
When the world turns its back
"And fingers like rose petals,"
And I hope you sleep
"My precious little rose,"
As I dream softly of your voice
"Stay with me..."
Like whispers on the wind...
