Smiles, Fractures and New Beginnings

I’ve been trying not to think about a lot of the things that come my way A cool summer breeze has taken my doubts for all that I can believe Dwelling on times too cautiously has left me walking in a wanderlust When the day begins it ends and I have no one to trust I’ve been traveling and I’ve come so far When all I needed was a friend you left me standing there I’ve seen smiles and I’ve held some frowns Seen an old man walking out on town I’ve seen a harlot chasing the sound of love Seen a man too tired to place himself found In my mind I’ve been walking my worries toward a reluctant time In my cloudy days I needed you there, all those lonely hours afterwards Today I was out running and I saw you alone Suddenly you disappeared when I went to ask you what was wrong Am I losing my mind, an illusionist in a broken time Against the shoreline chasing everything that wasn’t mine Seen coffee spilled when no one was around I’ve seen a good man yield his days I seen a champion walk away from a fight Seen a mother lost too weary to pray "a potion for nights that outlast my days"
