Empire State Of Mind

i won't live long enough

to recount all the watchful things you have said to me,

all the times i have stared into you white light

believing in miracles.

First kisses, first fights, last chances.

You could pen a damning history indeed.

You saw the escape, me chasing you, and now my rebirth.

The number of hours i have spent wandering beneath you

heartsick and weary-

just so very weary.

and you, hung there in splendor

with your eerie solace.

You have given me peace that defies logic,

knitting me together over miles

and binding me to all that is home
