Questions In Vain
Are you out there;
sleeping next to another soul
who finally can tame yours?
Are you out there;
whispering vows and promises
you could never say for me?
Are you out there;
cooking breakfast in bare feet
for the one you hold so dear?
Are you out there;
planning for tomorrows and dreams
the kinds you could never plan with me?
Are you out there;
singing lullabies and tucking in
the ones I thought I would give?
or
Are you out there;
wandering in the darkest forest
still struggling to find the truest?
Are you out there;
holding your ego closely
like when you left me early?
Are you out there;
watching the moonlight changes
wondering how I took chances?
Are you out there;
whining complains without constraint
regretting the past you used to taint?
but
all the answers, do they matter?
they don’t the way I didn’t,
I don’t and never will,
to you.
