faces all around. these
faces won't do. somehow
i'm drawn to you.
more than a face,
a shadow from a distant place.
a faceless profile grips me,
gets me hoping this could be.
wishing i could transcend time,
feeling hopeless, i'm
inundated with faith, i know
be taken where i need to go.
i hope i can remove this
black veil from your face someday
i just hope to at least see you
at least a few times along the way.
