Nowhere

the mists lift
time left us behind
I find you
here sitting
thinking
always melancholy
you always do return
somehow
to tighten the
knot
that loosens

why do we live our
lives searching
for what is not of
this world
it never ends
tomorrow will come
and find you
another quest
I will still be here
waiting

and maybe in time
I will learn
not to miss
your vacant place
in my heart
but now there is
nowhere I can go
that will
take away my
memories of you
