Watching
Retreating to the shadows
Watching from somewhat "afar"
Creeping in this little space
Watching this curious place
I have not much to say
At least not today
The silence is deafening
A roaring in my ears
Like there's so much to express
But they were lost in a few tears
Or hidden behind a tired smile
Content to rest for awhile
The silence is maddening
Like imagining footsteps in a hall
From a room where you were alone
Or at least you thought
But the musings stay locked up
Unable to escape for now
If I should die before they wake
I'll carry them with me into the ground
Meanwhile,
Just know...
I'm always watching
Watching from somewhat "afar"
Creeping in this little space
Watching this curious place
I have not much to say
At least not today
The silence is deafening
A roaring in my ears
Like there's so much to express
But they were lost in a few tears
Or hidden behind a tired smile
Content to rest for awhile
The silence is maddening
Like imagining footsteps in a hall
From a room where you were alone
Or at least you thought
But the musings stay locked up
Unable to escape for now
If I should die before they wake
I'll carry them with me into the ground
Meanwhile,
Just know...
I'm always watching
