It's like she's right through the flowers

It's like I am brushed by her touch

It's like the rain of the hour

Is not so much.

It's like she's walking sound

As I crawl around,

It's like candles burning

Atop a winding mound.

It's like she can hear me

Walking, crawling, hitting the ground,

My feet pittering-pattering, giving off no sound.

Reaching out my hand,

Finding the dreams that lay behold,

She stepped right over me,

She destroyed my home.
