All Your Promise

You leaned too far back
Ended on your ass, alone
Counting days to the fair
You can go with
A friend that you lost
Then you’d feel the heat
Sitting near the fire
Now when you’re flying over water
Tell me do you ever feel
That you were denied
Of your reason, all your promise
Hold me, for just once
Without any address
Of failed form
Life’s thorn in my chest
Even if it’s real
Even when I’m lost
I am on your side
I belong to you
You belong to your faults
To your reasons and to the times
Drowning in your ocean of love
Tied to you, a stake in your flood
Still all your brightness of form
Shone under light it gets pale
I would have stayed in your arms
If you could ever get there
