Your sirens song

I wrote these words, but not to you
As they are writ, u can read them too
I spent the time to ensure that they are true
As they would otherwise have no value

I walked across the sands of time
With a thirst that parched these thoughts of mine
I then reached mountains that I had to climb
To reach a state that was sublime

I looked behind me and saw the past
I looked not long as it would not last
I looked beside me and passing fast
Was the present time, with no shadow cast

I looked before me where time stood still
Where the days held an unknown thrill
This uncertain feeling gave me a certain chill
Which no comforting words would comfort instill

Yet I darted forward in search of joy
Knowing the future, would the past destroy
Knowing the tactics that I had to employ
Knowing my actions could not be of a boy

Yes, In all of this there is no mention of you
As I was doing only what I had to do
There was no white rabbit to in distraction pursue
And no thought of me being one of us two

As you know for certain this lasted not long
As the sirens sounded of your Siren's song
The call of your voice had pulled my ears strong
That my body, without choice, had come along

From the sands of the desert, across mountains to shore
From who I was and was heading, your song, it me tore
For a moment of silence, I did you implore
So that I, myself, could me restore

I, in not knowing, how much time had gone by
Seeing the time past, I had to deny
That your comforting song was in fact a lie
And your healing words left me broken inside

I thought of my days when whipped by sand
And my undying thirst was land locked by land
And now I know I can barely stand
The gentile caress of your jagged worn hand

I want not to dwell on how long was I here
Whether a day or whether a year
Regardless of length, 'twas too long my dear
When I was near u, I was not here
