someday (poem)
Someday
You must think that I am looking for perfection
What amazes me about your misled thought...
I�m just a little too close
To accepting you unconditionally
All I really need from you
Is for you to let me love you
For you to let me wish
I�ve been standing at this doorway
Always closed or just ajar
Never closing
Ever closer than you are ever
Really just too far
Please my friend
Won�t you just come meet me
Meet me in the doorjamb
And let me follow you right behind
A whisper in your midst
That is the only way
I want to ever tumble in
Closer to your mind
Sometimes I think I�ll send you
A letter
And leave out twenty of the most
Important words
And if you still understand me
Then that�s just how it was
Meant to be with us
That�s how you�ve always
Just found a way to read my silence
Even though nobody else
Has ever really heard
I know that you aren�t perfect
In your eyes you see the cracks
I keep skipping over them
Because no matter what has transpired
How many nights I curve away from
A thousand jumbled fears
You remain my worthy reason
To try and then try again
To find my best way back
Despite the painful tears
So many days I crumbled
You were the ladder that helped me up
Whenever you traveled with me
I�ve never got lost
Somehow with you I can see
If nothing gave me my direction
And I simply found it by myself
You must have paid the price for me
Because I�ve never known the cost
Hold out your hand to me
Just once even if you hold your breath
Let me move just a little closer
I don�t want to just remember you
By mostly foggy pieced together text
It is your face I want to take with me
From this life into my next
You are a letter left unopened
Sprayed with a beautiful world�s exhale
Take a chance not for me
Or for my happiness
Let me love you with everything
Because I have never learned to
Care for you any differently
Or even any less
Let�s hold our breath together
Even if we both turn blue
I don�t want to ever find that death
Is really all about sitting forever
And I never ever found out
How beautiful it might be
To sit and do nothing
Just because I never had the chance
To come sit and be with you
