leaving you behind

shoot it down
i am sitting
listening to tonights rain
inside this room
listening to the group
we saw together
for the first time.
do you remember
how you reached over and
held my hand that night there?
in that vast cavern
of people and sound?
i should have stopped caring
that night.

you might as well
stamp out
those soft delusions
from your mind
and surrender
to the reality
of what is facing you.




such a pretty little girl
your heart
and mine
are more foolish
than our minds
could ever hope
to be either
together or
alone.


pushing farther and farther into the distance ahead
you were
so golden to me.
whatever happened
to you?
or was it me
that drove
you away?
