Iceman Poem by James Casey

Iceman

Oh it's so true you can't go home again,
Yet in my mind and dreams I go there all the time,
Honey, I know you don't care where I am today
But since you left me it's been an uphill climb

Up those stairs in that lead into my heart
Is where I left it in the front seat of my car
I bet you didn't know I miss you still today
I see your face in dreams, whether near or far

I thought if I could touch your face or feel it,
This heartache inside of me would start healing,
Far away, at sea, it's like I'm someone else,
I thought, maybe I could stop this aching

If I could just come see you, I swear I'll leave,
I need to know that my time with you wasn't
Wasted and left with just a memory
Seeing you could repair a heart that has a dent

I thought if I could touch your face or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Far away, At sea, it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could stop this aching

When you move on and do the best you can,
To get lost in this world and forgot who I am,
Then try to forget just how it all began
This memory that's left me an Iceman
