Subject: Leaving

Leaning on a prayer
Eyes tuned to the night
Stalling my emotions for a time
The moon casting shadows
A beacon on the sea
I waited with impatience for a sign

The wind was blowing softly
As I walked across the yard
I could feel something pulling me away
My hearts beating like a hammer
My knees feeling weak
Knowing there was nothing I can say

She was waiting for a story
One I would not give
To speak would be to tell a lie
I could take a chance
Hide behind the silence
But I know she will see it in my eye

I feel anger in her presence
As I walked in through the door
Coldness as the moment lost its place
In the night I heard the calling
Of a long forgotten dream
The pain surely showing on my face

I'm not shy on feelings
I knew that I was sad
Leaving is the sickness in my life
Never look for compromise
It always brings me down
Leaves me lying cold beneath the sun

She was always bound for greatness
This, I could understand
There was nothing left to do but walk away
I took the treasures of her passion
Headed for the door
Easier to go, than it is to stay

She was sleeping like an angel
Hair laying on her face
I could see she was resting quite content
So I headed for the desert
With nothing but my pain
But it really didn’t matter where I went

Now the fog hangs like a curtain
On some far and distant shore
Leaves falling from the trees across the land
I pray that there’s heaven
To aid my helpless soul
A single trail of footprints in the sand
