Too many things pass unnoticed,
stories untold,
to many paths go untaken,
futures that never unfold.
Strangers go unseen, eyes never meet,
fruits of life untasted,
bitter or sweet?
Life a short journey, here, then there.
Meaning nothing when i used to care, nothing to share, different worlds, different air.
Smells, sights forgotten, love forsaken, a world of lies, what color are your eyes?
My quest for love led me nowhere, my life of singularly invalid mistakes, chased you away, not that you would have stayed.
I fought for a wrong cause,
my only aspiration is eternal repose.
Let my head rest upon your shoulder,
warm as the world grows colder,
and if my eyes rest upon your face,
a vagrant heart will find a resting place.
for the girl at Unza with a spider tatoo.
