Oh How Much
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
My dreams are flowing now
To a twilight dawn
I feel my life is slipping
The air is cold in the silence of my mind
I hear my voice softly calling
If I could love myself - like you
I would be free from this
But no; it doesn’t seem to work along that way
Oh, how much I needed you
Alone I sit here in the rafters of my world
It itself is slowly breaking
My tears are shed in silence - not a word
I know how much I resent them
If I could know that you were here
Without that note you left me
Oh, I would be happy if you were here with me
Not alone in darkness
I know I’m dying
My eyes are growing heavy
The shades of blue set in me
Yet morning light touches my careless mind
Where I could not go myself
If I could allow it all again
If I could begin a life alive
I would not feel like a husk flowing in the wind
Oh, how much I needed you
I wanted to be close to you
