unfinished business

let the stars blaze
allow the sun to shine
for I will not see them at all
swimming in this sea of clouds
which envelopes me

this unfinished business
hung upon me like a halo
leaving me still, as the bleach
bleeds the stain from my heart
left by you

altered but unchanged
reminiscent of the words we spoke
and the deeds we planned
to keep us crashing down
upon each other

this unfinished business
of ours
