Incomplete – Written Wednesday 21st July 1999 (Aged 24)

Incomplete

the day does not seem complete
not as it should
if you were here
then i am sure it would
shadows came today
and shadows went away
it was a strange day
where the lines of life
where distorted in a wonderful way
yet it still isn’t complete
so nearly… yet not quite
i need the lights in this street
i need strings for this kite
the day was here for keeps
or so i thought
now it has gone to some graveyard
probably to sleep or to quietly weep
the day does not seem complete
if only you were here
it would surely be tidy and neat
and we would both feel, so complete
