zephyr.

i'm drifting back out to sea i suppose.

charting new courses for different avenues.

it's been twice now i've seen the sun set in your eyes.

the fire gone, the flame still hoping for breath.

it won't get it.

at least not here.

a breath could stoke the coals.

build them back up.

i've lost all the air i have to breathe for you.

caught in long winded apologies that were never justified.

as you ran off with other boys, i bid my time.

slowly i started making plans to make a break out to sea.

i checked the coordinates against the stars,

while you your shadow danced on other walls.

no you will simply tell me not to go.

your expectations should prompt you to scream.

they will not.

so i will walk away again.

you will suppose that i will turn around soon.

i've catching a zephyr through the next fortnight.

i hope to find another you.

someone that sets the fire in my eyes.

as i did for you.

a girl with the sunshine streaking her hair.

then i will be enough for her, just as i am.

she will be enough for me.

and we will live out the end of our days.
