Bright light
White night
Shadows by the door.

Come and go
Through the window,
Scattered on the floor.

It’s too late
To try to hide
I know they’ve caught me now.

Before I go
I’ll end the show
With a final bow.

Wake from a dream
A silent scream
Trapped inside my throat.

Outside the door
The shadows rear and
Disappear once more.

I thought I found comfort in the hollow of your chest
But baby these feelings
Are too hard a test.
I can’t forget your past -
Can’t separate it from mine.
We’re bound together
By fragments of time.
When your heart was at peace
And your mind was at rest
And I lay at your side
I felt truly blessed.
But it always interfered -
This uninvited guest.
I should’ve known Better.
I should’ve at least Guessed.

A call or a text
Is all that I get
When I’m so far away
And it makes me regret
The choices I’ve made
And the places I’ve left
‘Cause in the end
I lose by my own theft.
It’s just sentimentality
That leads me to bleed
Over things I don’t feel
And people I don’t need.
But that will fade too
Til out of the blue
I see your face
And I can’t erase
The feelings I chase
At too slow a pace.
I trip and I stumble
My future - I fumble,
Getting left behind
The walls in my mind.
