What it's like to Wander

Rambles

You didn’t mind me when I
Slid my hand across your thigh,
Or poked you just right to make you squirm.
You like me, I know you do.
Maybe some part of you is saying
Stop, they’re just gonna hurt you.
They don’t want you enough.
It’s not true…
I love your company. I love everything

---

You can’t save me,
You don’t want to,
Don’t lie to me again
Don’t say those words to me

“I love you, but…”
Everything not saved, will be lost.
Don’t lose me.

---

There comes that feeling again, suddenly,
As if you forgot after all this time that you
Had been cut off from your freedom.

Freedom, what they stripped of you
So long ago, the feeling of breathing without
Fear.

---

It’s time to pick up the pieces, darling
Wipe the day away and see the beauty
Beyond the summer sun.
Find beauty in the loss, in the pain,
Look up at the trees and notice,
Not just leaves, but the glistening amber,
The shining gold of the fall of time.
Everything changes, and
Everything will be alright.
