I Never Knew You

you’re always
dying inside
that much
closer to home
on a crowded
street corner
surrounded by
people all alone.

pain in the heart
rain in the dark
the womb is glum
and bitter.

she walks around
the corner it’s
like she brought
the sun with her.

then everything
just brightened up
I couldn’t make this up
my fingers in my eyes
she walked by like
I was waking up.

in so many words I couldn’t string
a sentence together to bother her
I instantly forgot all my plans and
started to follow her.

it’s like the sky opened and
god handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy but
so is life, I’m sinking
and feeling like your heart
is beating ... solely for me
