sometimes

Around That Measured Globe

I’m tired of missing you.
I could do with some soft love
from somebody close and warm.
I could do with forgetting a little.

It hurts not to be wanted
by someone you want to still love.

Around that measured Globe.
Encircle, entrench your Soul.
I use that word for what goes deep.
That mist about you I failed to keep.

Someone as gone as you.
Hiding in a sheltered heart
not looking for home.

If you love him
you’ve forgotten love
and don’t know me.

I’m sorry I loved you.
I swear I didn’t know
it would hurt us this much.

I’m sorry for being him
when you needed me to be myself.
