For you

For you I’m blindfolded trying to pin my hopes on a promise It’s said the best laid intentions still create dramas As you laid there and pictured serenity the calm is swept away Papier Mache memories torched to ashes and alone you play Lock the doors and damn the texts and telephone calls My life’s a menagerie with no privacy behind cellophane walls Run if you can and scream if you think it will make you feel better I would stand in the rain again for you if you relish in getting me wetter But for now, I’m going to wrap into a little ball Teetering on the edge of a branch bracing for the fall Time and distance in the end are not the only measures Faith hope and love you’ll find are life’s greatest treasures When you tire of the echo that your lonely heartbeat makes And you feel it’s time to open up, think you have what it takes Call my name and I’ll be there Signed someone that really cares For you Tim Windisch 08/07/2021
