Low Flying Planes

The nights were long and I mixed chemicals to sleep.
Locked inside my head, your eyes I keep.
The soft whisper of your vocal chords that strain-
They were once soft and plain and now they keep me awake.
And I've been gone but I keep that song repeating in my mind.
But sometimes I forget how it goes.
Fill the holes with something beautiful.
I was wrong to think I wouldn't care too much-
Spending time opening locks safely guarded by dogs.
But you walked right through and made your way into my room-
Sat against me and said "play me that tune."
But I never played.
I never came too close or too far away.
I waited for a moment that never came.
So here I'll stay.
