there was more
into it than just the heat
that got you that day
I pushed some buttons
I walked ahead
or sometimes behind
but I didn’t mean
anything by it
and I will see
through all of this and the storm too
I will not let
you down and I can
break a problem to
build it all back up
and I can walk back the dog
and disappear
like a shadow at night
to keep in mind
the daily laughs
and the many hours
of candle burning
there are no more masks
if I was to be
this close
then I wish
to practice doing
things in motion
and even as I know
some moments will
be discovered with difficulty
some with pleasure
but every one
will be
truly
valued…
