"Destined Minds"

WOULD YOU NOTICE?

Would you notice the heavens crying
when evening stars are falling?

Would you notice the crocodile tears
as the lake meets the ocean?

Would you notice my heart beating faster
when you are in the room?

Would you notice I was missing when
my heart was packed and gone?

Would you notice heaven calling
night after night?

Would you notice the waves upon the ocean
and the distance of the seas?

Would you notice my heart bleeding
as hopes drown as I cry on my knees?

Or would you take for granted another nights
sky filled with many stars

and not even notice that one was missing?
