mercury

 they said it would take two hundred years

just to reach where you are.

i laughed-like i had time to spare-

i ran barefoot through the dust of memory,

chasing your name

like it was the only thing

that ever truly knew me.

but, maybe i wont live that long.

but, maybe ill fall halfway there.

still, i would run-a madmans run

i dont care that i still break,

still choose the path that leads to you.

and if this life ends

before i arrive,

ill find you in another-

somewhere the stars remember

what time forgot.
