Someday

S. M. Bendock
Someday it will not matter anymore
If you are near or far from me.
Someday I will not spend every instance
Of the day that I have free
Trying so desperately to find you.
Someday I will remember to live my life
To go out and breath and see.....

None of this is true, you know.
I think of you all too often, it's all
All there is in my head sometimes,
Times when my mind starts to fall.
Usually I do stop myself...
When it's your name in the dark I want to call.
I've accepted, I think, that someday will never come.
There's no escape from these walls.

Ah, *stretch*, a life of ease elludes me. I love people, music, reading, writing, football, and nature. I love to debate and can usually see both sides of any topic.  View profile

    Trying to analyze this, although sometimes there is none to be done. I get the feeling of wanting freedom just for freedoms sake, but staying for loves sake.

    You know how to give voice to lonliness, whether from loss, or just not having met. Powerful QE.
