Hanging On By A Thread
Location
I've seen you with such joy.
I've seen you when you're excited.
Now, all I can look to
Are the memories of you.
I'm all alone.
You've always said
That I'm a man's best friend.
You've always said you wouldn't be gone long.
But the hour glass has been turned many a time.
I'm all alone.
It's been ten years.
Though it feels like an eternity.
Maybe you have encountered an animated Polyphemus,
a beastly Lestrygonian, or even a mysterious Nohbdy. But,
I'm all alone.
Ten more years have gone by.
I've been hanging on by a thread.
All I need is to see you once more.
Then I can let go.
I'm all alone from now on.
