i am brought back to a time, before this chaos existed. 
when life was ours to mold and living was bliss. 
orchestrating the birth of our own song. 
										
practicing this ritual daily. 
united by a spirit stronger than any love. 
and thicker than the blood we both share. 
but this season in time has grown cold. 
a torrent of distance left this separation. 
i am screaming your name. 
i am praying for a sound. 
but all i can hear is the rain while these clouds cast their shadows where our dreams had once shone. 
and i like fall wither to winter to hold the hands of the one i cherish. 
the one i love. the prodigal.
