----------------------------------

This now is all I have
all I know
I fear for a repetition
of all that came before

I never saw the ending then
the roads were foggy
the potholes never visible
and the fork...
I couldn't have forseen

I'm resisting the urge
to delve into my head
Those thoughts she brings
What wicked fortune!
She kills herself every time
And leaves me gasping for answers
grasping for that moment...

I'm tired of wondering
wandering
from cliff to shore
searching for completeness
I'm afraid
to give my one mind a second of control
A beat to reconsider

"Cold retreat!" echoes between my ears
"Keep them all at a distance
Do not reach for them
Let them become your martyrs,
and sleep with an empty heart."

And another light fades away
Leaving me aimless
Disconnected
free from bother
like the air I breathe

"Pin me!" I say
"Leave me! " I mean

So I cage myself
For the millionth time
wondering when the lock won't have to be broken,
When one will come with the key
