i sometimes lose the experience of truly being present
i lose focus of the moment and my attention span wears out
i detach from my surroundings and i’m no longer there
i mean i’m there
but my mind’s drifting far
so far away
im..somewhere
it looks familiar but at the same time its vivid
im lingering in this place not sure for how long
it’s like i’ve been drugged, dozed off the face of reality
but then im awakened by a distant voice  
a sound so melancholic it pulls at my heartstrings
could swear i’ve heard it all my life but where?
is it a stranger?
an acquaintance?
or someone i’ve known my whole life?
i can’t seem to tell,
it’s like i’m cast under a spell
