You woke up too late, but know what they thought |
|
While you were waiting for the strangers that had gone |
|
Somewhere to stay together apart, |
|
Where everyone traded as they faded in the dark, |
|
Caught in the lights they couldn't show through |
|
And just beyond they'd always known you |
|
Would give it away, even as dust, |
|
Falling just out of frame, leaving everything untouched, |
|
Held and returned. |
|
Who did you cry to? |
|
Was someone else too close to find? |
|
You sold what you'd saved, woke where you'd lie |
|
And said what they wouldn't say to the shadows in the night |
|
Left in your place and still lashing out, |
|
Coming to life to make you finally live it down. |
|
O, watch that temper, now. |
|
Is it worth it, wasted? |
|
How far will you get? |
