trying to say goodbye

crumbled up pieces of my deceit
are blown up and around your feet
while i wait on the other side
of the denial ridden street
for an answer i've been holding onto

somewhere in the middle of the sea
of lost souls hopes and dreams
call out to their rightful owner
begging to be remembered and
waiting for their second chance

spoke to you in a tableau
of dazed and confused dried up paint

while you riddled me with replies
and felt your way through rain soaked eyes

walked my way around a maze of chairs
and wondered what it would be like to sit
took too much time to make you mine
and regret but won't admit
for your sake
or was it for mine?
