crack in the earth

somewhere along the line
somewhere along the way
somehow with the passage of time
some tears shed the light

some nights, some days
i stayed up, lost in my ways
thinking of you
in my solitude
holding on
to the memory of your embrace

"there was a
crack in
the earth
i heard,"
she whispered

"the seas have over flown"

"the sky is falling,"
i heard
them whisper
no body's going home...tonight.
