Hidden


And when I choose to come here again                                                                     
will it snow how it did in my dreams
                        will I be

a story worth telling

                                    because the sadness—

it crackles in the night
           
for you           
the mistake worth regretting

                                                the faraway voice        filled with belonging

do you see where eternity ends

did you know that you were my friend
this planet a box that holds me

when she could not worship the sun               for so long she yearned to sleep         

but the storm came rolling in
                        the storm came rolling in

a million miles of prairie grass

and your golden-haired girl                            exposed once again

unsure how the course of right became the final turn wrong
how her rabbit-hole time for falling   

                                    just      gone

gone

  
gone

a triumph but for you 
my one truth worth deceiving
a child’s dream for tomorrow so good           it deserved to be buried
behind the wall a red she had never seen                  
     
if I had                        discovered

yet not been found

would your golden-haired girl           
be six feet underground

I guess this was why you had to go
maybe I should have known

but the sadness—
no one told me it would come with the leaving
  
especially not you
  
my last hope worth believing
