TEN

 

I try to count you away

I try to push you back

Back to the back of my brain

I count 

 

I try to blow you away

One deep breath at a time

I sigh, hoping you will hear

I breathe 

 

The lights flash past 

Green and red glow dim

The dark sky black as pitch

Flash me to the past, and to you

 

One one thousand 

You

Two one thousand

YOu

Three one thousand 

YOU

 

There is no point in counting

You will always be there

There is no point in pushing

You will still be there

 

There is no point in sighing

Its not a magic summons

Its not a gun made silent

You will always be there

 

There lights that flash and fade

Remind me again 

One one thousand 

you
