Hearts and Shadows

I took a walk today.
I didn't even know
Which direction to go
When I closed the door.

I sat and prayed.
My heart like a window
Hoping broken spirits dwindle
In the light of the stars.

I said I was sorry
For falling and failing to be
The person I know and see
Deep inside locked from the world.

I know that if we could live
On nothing but air and love alone
To name the space between us home
We'd live a thousand happy lives.

I heard your voice in my dreams
Followed its whisper to your embrace
Lying perfectly still just in case
I wake and realize you're not there.

I blow you kisses
From what seems so far away
And say I love you everyday
To feel you in the shadows of my heart.
