The memories
And time
We shared
Left me,
for love,
impaired.
With you, I felt like
Family.
Didn't watch what
I said.
Now I'm planning
Ahead of time.
Thinking strange thoughts in
My head.
"What should I
Say?"
"What should I
Wear?"
I need a reality check:
No one really cares!
I feel a long pause...
Silence
In the air
Or distance
Though you're
Right there.
You're talking?
I doesn't sound like you.
You're saying:
"It's time to check ourselves"
Is this the same
Person who said that
They don't care about anyone
Else?
No.
It's not
You.
Are you real?
Have I made you
Up
To escape?

"Are you there?"
He just
Stares.

"Or are you just a long-lost
Dream in my head?
Am I home?
Or am I simply
Tumbling all alone?"
