Wishing you were here

Wishing you were here

A Poem by William Coad

Sometimes I wonder what would inform you

of how I could be so informed.


If how I entered this building arbores you

maybe just do all your chores.


What if I asked you to go on a weekend

far and away past the cloud?


Now that we're up there my mind feels cleaner

and now I'll say that I'm proud.


Just now I looked out the sky for a second

people were begging to get in.


If I just undid the latch I could let them,

but our supplies are running thin.


Wishing you were here.

Wishing you were here.


Outside my window at a quarter past seven

a dozen people stand in line.


Sometimes they sway and they move in their place

but more often than not they're just fine.


Without the context for this situation

I find myself incredibly dry.


Still it would have behooved this situation

if you weren't still with that guy.


Wishing you were here.

Wishing you were here.


As I move my fingers they get a little weaker

weaker and weaker every week.


But it doesn't matter what I keep doing,

no matter how much I've missed my peak.


Standing in silence from high in the clouds

watching the people below.


Of course you stand down their amongst them

I watch as you go and you go.


Wishing you were here.

Wishing you were here.
