Scantly
 

I read your words so scantly

All are filled with admiration

But I am lead astray by your content;

I feel your body so intently

I am filled with dedication

But I am weeping so inside

On the edge of a vastness I can't climb

Persuading myself to stand still

As my time with you evaporates.

 

Joy I once knew.

Parallel to my survival.

Now leaves me dangling on the memories with you

Surrounding me in silence.

 

Let me gather thoughts to keep you closer.

Gather time to save my time with you.

My beating heart is so lonely,

But you're near here in my arms

And I am content with this here and now.
