And I apologize but

  

I've dreamed harder than you have.

“What do you want out of life?" I asked, and I used to ask that all the time of girls.
'I don't know,' she said. 'Just wait on tables and try to get along.' She yawned. I put my hand over her mouth and told her not to yawn. I tried to tell her how excited I was about life and the things we could do together; saying that, and planning to leave Denver in two days. She turned away wearily. We lay on our backs, looking at the ceiling and wondering what God had wrought when He made life so sad.”

"What The Piano Might Do"- A Poem

 (source)

I don’t think of what’s to come

Because my arms hurt from leaning

I can’t do it anymore living in your shadow

It eats my insides until I’m hollow

And I believe there’s more for me

Then you

At least I hope so because

If there isn’t

I think I’m just going to have to learn the piano

And let the keys touch my fingers

And let my breath catch in my throat

And let the window open beside me brush my hair out of my face

Like you

Never

Did

Or

Could

Do

For

My sorry soul.
