A Poem by Richard

wherever we are I want to say I've been there

i want you too, look out the window

these bright and beautiful things come to mind

and i don't mind

everything you are now that's not your final statement

there's so much more in the tiny plants harbouring great resentment, but grow up strong, don't remember growing up

and nurture the surrounding soil with contentment, they feel like trees they just belong

but live with people so long

they're alone no longer

how i wish it was true, but i'm looking for a friend

you turn away when I get close but I can't pretend

not like i thought i could

in one quick crying blink of an eye the dreams behind your eyelids and some scattered somewhere up in the old house

i found myself uncoiled in such a struggle as what would I do much later? scattered at best

it's getting later

there's nothing left to think about and to be honest with you

i've been distant and at a price

this way and that

a closet of my greatest fears

telling me this is the best it's ever going to get?

and it's not so good

i'm very scared

i have no rhythm

I want to go home now

and just be happy

i'm not a prison
