The Hanged Man

Wait for me


Across the sea, you wait for me

Through the endless night, I see only you

In the stars,

In the moon,

And everything between.


You glow so bright in your radiance

I peace I have never known,

A quiet I am no longer scared to embrace.


Do you even know the sanctuary you left behind in your trace?

One that I so desperate cling onto in your absence.

Do you see me in what I left behind?

Do you smell that same scent in your living room where I once stood?


I see your eyes in the face of strangers,

My mind likes to remind me what I long for most.

But how could I ever forget?

How can we be joint at the hip while the ocean seperates us?


I know not when this red ribbon was tied,

But I know distance only strengthens its knot.


So until that time comes again,

When k can feel your warmth pressing against my skin,

When I no longer have to rely on memories to fill the void


Wait for me.


Wait for me..


Wait for me…
