Drifting Away

By Daryl Simons Jr.

Another day goes by,
The world feels infinite
As I gaze into her eyes
I don’t know where time goes

While I lose my grasp on reality
My weaknesses appear as she starts to expose
I become scared, and take a step away
She reaches out, tears running down her face

I look back at her, and don’t know what to say
She becomes terrified, creeping fear beside her
All that she had known, all that had died
Everything I was, was just a lure

As we stare, as we lay there
We slip back into infinite, to forget we can’t bare
I look at her, and still don’t know what to say
I just dazed off, knowing that I am drifting away…
