forgotten truth

i meant to tell you something
but i forgot what that was
i meant to write it down and make myself remember
to set it aside for your viewing, our understanding
but it's gone, and dark and blown away
like the sound of one hand clapping in the rain
in the middle of a blustery, hollow forest

when we said you'd come back for me
who was the you we agreed agreed upon?
i'm making things work over here
piecing one patch of sunlight into the day
as time hovers over me like a cow jumping over the moon
i'm still there, waiting, waiting

it makes no sense to me
the countless hours i spend alone
in the dead of the night, i swear i hear your voice
in the dead of the night, when i'm all alone-
that's when i feel most safe, that's how i know
that's all i know when i'm with you

cracking walls, the rain falls in
soaking your pictures, your best kept memories
they now transform into secrets
unveiling the darkness in which you so are buried within
tear down the fences, break down the walls
before they become my shadows

i meant to tell you something
but i forgot what that something was
