Impact

I'll do my best
To clarify 
To rectify 
My words

You do your best
To be just so
To never know
The impact of yours

I could pretend
That I don't care
It's only fair
You know

Or you could act
Like you do too
I'll believe you
 . . . Because I want to

Maybe I won't
Ever be sure
Because of your
Dear words

Maybe you don't
Realize it -
Will you regret
The impact of ours?

And I could wash
It all away
Erase each day
I know

Or you could stop
Confusing me
Incessantly
 . . . Why hold onto me?

I'm sure I won't -
I'll never know
So I'll just show
With words

That I don't mind
Heading nowhere
With no prayer -
That's the impact of yours

Infinity

Slow as the days may pass
Obvious as I may be
I'll move onward
Saving your seat, infinity 

As quickly as the years go by
Vicious as the cycles are 
Echoes tethering us to memories 
You'll see our spark in every star

Offering time til it runs out
Until someday comes too late
Running scenarios in my mind
Still, I can't stay here and wait

Echoes attempt to pull us back
After all we've been through
Taking my sweet time
I would have given all that time to you

Natural as it somehow seems 
Forgo all that to find
Infinity's unanswerable questions 
New thoughts shall circle inside your mind

I will save your seat, infinity
Though time may alter you and me
Years may pass - still this will be
