Aphasia

Someday

Aphasia


You're left wanting more 
of the chemical that fills your veins 
and drains our reservoir of hope for you 
you're saturated 
you're sedated 
you concentrate on your next move 
so go on and make it... 

no guilt to hide from you, at all 
because I tried and I failed 

but someday you'll break away 
someday you'll drag yourself out 
still, I wish you could feel just how I feel for you 
if you could someday 

like an eraser touches paper 
the plans you've sketched into your book have vanished 
take a second look, they're gone 
your plans have changed 
your dreams have faded 
but life is full of second tries 
go on and take it
