Reflection of A Ghost Heart (7/27/23)

Looking down from the bleachers


As the clock strikes nine

Before we say goodbye

For another time

Standing tall

Because I'm so free and brave

A glance across the way

Tells me you are led astray

I'm many moments and memories

Away

But I could walk to you in a minute

If I timed my heart perfect

And my stride allowed it

Looking up at the bleachers

It's long past nine

And pretty past times

I'm on a terrace in paradise

I feel worshipped

But I shouldn't be

Would you really get on your knees for me if he wasn't all you wanted him to be?

What a wonderful man

Shame I'm always

The other man

For it is he who I am not

He, who I could never meet

Yet he, who I always wanted to be

I saw you

I saw from the top of the bleachers

Your eyes capsulated constellations

And it was all for me

Pointing out a pretty past-time

Seen by you with sight

But never in your heart

No picture to frame of us

For your heart is astray

I saw you

I saw you today

It was 10:10AM

Sie sind "Heim"

Und Ich bin "Gäste"

If you play your cards right

Don't break your own heart

Tomorrow I leave with daybreak

I saw you today

And you saw me

I wished you would see me

Though I don't think you love me

For I am merely temporary

I think of a lady

A lovely lady

Tonight

I think of today

Tomorrow I'll think of tonight

And tonight I'm thinking about you

A morning haze

A morning hopelessness

I saw you today

What did you see in me?
