I put up these walls
Long before I met you
You can tear them down

Why do we do this?
There is no way to fix us
Please just walk away

The thought just kills me
The before us and after
How so much can change

Take stock of your life
Is this where you thought you’d be?
You can make it right

I have gone adrift
Being neither here nor there
Somewhere in-between

The sun blinds my eyes
Horizon never ending
Far away from home

The waves are violent
Crushing bones and stealing breaths
Merciless on me

It’s much too quiet
Alone with my thoughts again
That’s a scary place

 

This pull of my heart
Broke me from my reverie
I cannot go back

I watch the smoke swirl
Outlining you in its haze
But you are not there
