riding around,
i have lost my way
but then again
i am here
here i am
i watch you in mirrors
through glass
through glass
you're the book i read twelve times
and still cannot understand
like letters sent years since past
i see your face when i reminisce to fast
and all of the sudden my heart fills up
with the wings of butterflies that long ago passed
so i pretend i am a brick wall
but too soon i crumble down to the floor
oh and back when
i was with you
you reminded me
of
a straw hat
on a hot summer day
to keep the sun
out of my face
or how one time you almost died
by running with scissors across my eyes
you filled the bathtub to over flow
you filled the sink to shave under you nose
i wasn't just young
or just naive
i wasn't innocent
or a petty tease
i was in it and
it was love
and it was sucking all my blood
draining all of me
draining me of all i was
but what about you
are you riding around?
in circles,
maybe squares,
but you are gone
so i shouldn't care
instead
i wonder where i am
i'm riding around in
circles
i am here
here i am.
