More Than This

More Than This

A Poem by Nathaniel Mann

I see the ocean now
As we pushed straight
Through the crowd
And you held on to
My hand
Where the water
Met the land

And in your eyes I can see
It's exactly what you wanted it to be
And the world keeps on turning
But the words you said are burning

But in this moment
Now
All I want is so
Far away
To float back to the shore today
But in this hopeful shout
I washed away all my doubt
And in the memories
You shared with me
Fade like the debris

A phantom moment
Of bliss
All I want is more than this
To watch the wind blow
Watch the sun grow
As it rises over hills

A single message
A tone
A sign that you have grown
And the fallen leaves
Float back up to
The trees

But in this moment
Now
All I want is so
Far away
To fly away with you today
But in this hopeless light
I know that I can't win the fight
So why even try?
I'm just barely getting by
And theres no use
For your lies
