One Day at a Time.

Her eyes, he drew, with a piece of charcoal,

Blue skies now dark and gray

screamed a rebellious rain.

Then he drew her without a mouth

And the world was quiet again.

Amid words unsaid, unreal,

glances, angry, averted,

I forgot to reveal,

that each unshared taunt,

existed, for you remain,

the one, I want to want.

Day after crowded day,

I forget not once how lucky I have been.

For while others give in to this race unseen,

I lie to myself still.

And with each pretense I uphold,

these crowded chemical skies

disappear right before my open eyes.

Before humility surrendered to robotic arrogance,

Before ticking clocks and calenders inked,

We were but kings of our daydreams,

Tiny warriors, submitting wholly to each fearless instinct.

Calling it our hiding place,

day after day,

we made our way,

secretly and without a sound.

I always knew they cared not,

but I played along,

stood on my toes,

and followed you around.

I knew not then as I know now,

that each reckless, loud step of yours,

only revealed,

how you longed to be found.

By the gray river, in the dusky old town,

The cobbled streets still remember the day

when words faded against a withered brown,

but footsteps sang a slow farewell cliche.
