Blurry eyed tears escape me like sap from a tree unable to control their flow falling ever silently unable to switch off thoughts filling my narrowing mind slowly slipping out of sync impossible to unwind dear friend I will hold you close to my heart my angel, my watcher, my occasional lover If only I'd known you from the start Out of time my life ebbs from me like high tide afternoon my soul unravelling more each night under the ever watchful moon for I lost my smile and found a frown upon my brow the lines on my face show a journey one which must end now
