Hearing plaintive cry
Swiftly attend to assist
Old cat forgets doors

Maybe now its time
To learn to breathe for myself
Rather than for you

Again nightmares come
Dream on knowing it won’t end
When I am awake

Your presence missing
Lost beneath the drooping boughs
My heart remains wrapped

Inescapable
Seeing you in all I read
Kisses on the wind

I was just sixteen
You were the light of my world
But I meant nothing

Here on city streets
My heart cries for the mountains
Where the smoke rises
