Out of Sight

I'm staring at the paper, pen in hand

But it trembles with uncertainty - nothings making sense.

I'm trying to remember but all I can see is your face;

You're smiling at me, welcoming me home again.

I'm surrounded by silence but I still hear your voice

Ringing clearly above the static noise.

I run to embrace you, to soak it all in.

But I can't feel you - you're vanishing.

You're gone from my sight, I'm tracing my steps again.

Looking out your window because from mine falls rain.

"Eyes, don't betray me now", I say to them.

But the windows to my soul are filled to the brim.
