A Contradicting Distraction
Back and forth
In and out
Running away
Coming back.
Here and there
Nowhere to be found
I say “I’ll just forget”
I say “I’m a clown”.
Dancing and turning
Lying in bed
Looking through my window
Why aren’t you there?
I think I screwed up by leaving
I think you’re just not the one.
I forget about you in the morning
And I remember every night.
Nightmares and dreams
Empty shell, shame on me
Full of ghosts, shame on you
The key point: the point of view.
And I skip through these verses
So I don’t have to think
About how I might not belong with you
And you might not belong with me.
