Waltzing Without You

Waltzing Without You

The reason I yelled, 
I lost my mind. 
It slipped away. 
stolen by the war,
and my own human failings.

You were right, 
I was wrong. 
You are not here, 
to hear, 
but I know…
somewhere in heaven, 
they are whispering…
the joke, 
at my expense. 

I do not mind. 
I am stupid. 

I went to the doctor. 
I take pills. 
It is not a perfect solution, 
but we have a plan. (the doc and I)
You always liked it, 
When “we” had a plan. (you and I)

Like going to the lake. 
Like swimming in the dark. 
Like living in my heart forever…
Oh, that was my plan. 
Sorry.
