2nd Place - CLOSER

April 18th, 2011 by Ivan Sinkov For The Retort

You are where the sun
goes down

Forgot your way back
home

For so long, not taking
promises back

I’ll visit you before I go

I’ll put our picture on my
wall

And anywhere I go

I turn around and see
your face

I’ll put two roses on your
rock

And anywhere I go, I’m
getting closer to your
grave

When you left, rain was
knocking on my door

Wind was singing your
best song

It seemed like, I have
nowhere to belong

I promised you it won’t
be long
