i do not think
i am in my body
no, i know
for a fact i am not
i have been away
far off in some
other space
some other place
there's roses on the floor
but they are all withered
and the red that
once looked like blood
has turned to
a dull sun
the glow from this
distance is not
beautiful
it is sickening
maybe i went too far
outer space took me away
up up up
higher and higher
on the moon
all alone here
you're talking to me
but i don't know who
it is you speak to
anymore
because i am no longer
on the earth
i have not had my feet
planted firmly on
the ground in a long time
the sky races by
and the weeks
go so fast now
i am living months and months
in the past
stuck, or maybe just gone
its too odd
to explain to you
so i will simply say
i am away
