present tenses tangle ancient oak trees
while perdition haunts vivid dreams
& your eyes merely dim though never close
as I falter while presence cancels my own
Author notes
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all the time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
