T MINUS - By Tom Jensen (7/4/2017)
T minus -
5, 4, 3...
It's soon to be
Five years to the day
Since I once made my escape...
And went flying off
to the place
That I truly wanted
to call my home
Yet when finally I arrived
It was to my surprise
After a little time went by
Even when I was with them...
I still often felt alone
I still felt myself
having that empty feeling
Like when you
stare at your phone
Hoping it's broken
And that's why it don't ring
But you don't wanna check it
Because here's the thing...
If it's fine
and the power's on
It's a clear sign
that something's wrong
Maybe the tragedy lies
in the music
and the melody
Or perhaps you find
that the lines
Just don't rhyme lyrically
There was just something missing
a lack of harmony
To think that even after all this time
It's still effecting me...
Like a lover lost
Or the death of a best friend
The last sentence
on the last page
Of the one book
that you loved so much...
And you never wanted to end
Well it looks like that's the end
