"Drifting"

"Drifting"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Space is that distance

when you receive my thoughts of you

I tell you some things

that you might be able to miss

II

And I hope that you get them

because I never understand myself

And when I look for something else

When I am all alone like this

III

I try to sit it out

but thoughts of you come about

And they disturb me more when I sleep

So I wake and they just disturb me

IV

Space where no one can hear

Me screaming your name in the void

and I stare down into the darkness

hoping maybe that you are not there

V

So I just keep looking for you

and I still don't know

Maybe I can stop these thoughts

Maybe I ought to.
