No One

 

"No One"

If thunder heads have tops,

I have flown among them.

I have seen the sky reach forth,

Too ground the stem.

I have danced in the light,

In the morning sun.

Between the moon light of the night,

And the coming of the one.

 

An honor I can only guess,

Not given to everyone.

  

Yet we soared,

We rose a hairs breath above.

What we mortals refer to,

As love.

Occasionally I can find a smile,

Built on a foundation of lies.

So I cry and I cry while the mermaids,

Wipe tears from my eyes. 

I cried and I cried,

Still, you never said why.

 

Why I was offered no reason.

Left naked, ignorant alone.

In the harshest of seasons.

   

I screamed for you,

I screamed and screamed,

Until voiceless it seemed.

I couldn't scream anymore.   

And you never once even looked,

Never checked the door.

  

Occasionally I can find a smile

When I think back to then.

But no one.

  

And I do mean no one.

  

Will ever make me hurt,

Like that again.
