Tears

You’re so far away
I think about you every day
I want to reach my hand out
And for you to grab onto it

Home is an impossible staircase
It is a far away place
Your smiles, your laughter
And a pathway made of ashes

And the ocean glitters at me like broken glass
Reflecting the colors of a television sky
Salty like the tears that are
Flowing down my bright red cheeks

I wrote this passage down in my journal
About kindred spirits that will never cross paths
Professing my love through letters
Set ablaze at the hands of its sender

And the ocean glitters at me like broken glass
Reflecting the colors of a television sky
Salty like the tears that are
Flowing down my bright red cheeks
