FOLLOWING YOU
I am older
than I was
Reflected in the glass
I am summer turned to rain
A figure from the past
And all the while I’m following you
Stepping close behind
Turning circles
Time again
The way you stalk my mind
I was your only one
Now my house is full of ghosts
You know them all by name
You know anger
You know grief
But hope’s the one I blame
She reels me in and pulls me close
I’m tethered like a kite
Oh spool me out
Let me go
Your heart has taken flight
But oh she pulls me down again, again, again, again oh…
Piece by piece
Bit by bit
We pulled ourselves apart
Till the pieces won’t all fit
Is that my soul?
Was this your heart?
And if we were much greater than
The sum of all these things
Why do we have to analyze the joy that they could bring
It’s gonna pull me down again, again, again, again, oh…
Now you pull me down again, again, and oh what then?
And all the while
I’m following you
Falling far behind
Broken like the memory
You cannot call to mind.
