Where did you go, my old friend?
Surely you're still here,
Somewhere,
Deep down
But I've dived deep
So deep
And I don't know where to find you
A child once more
Scribbling between the lines the best I could
And then
Seeing this picture,
So wrong...
Reduced to tears
On the floor
Why?
Why me?
I listen and I wait
Terrified
Hoping
Someone will come
So I don't have to be alone
But I am now
The music fades away
I try to get to my feet
I can't do it
I need to do it
Don't let me do it
I'll do what I can
I'll throw aside these thoughts
If I can
Clattering to the floor
Out of reach
I'll try to focus but it's gone
And then suddenly the world is tilting and I can't breathe
Yesterday there were no tears
Today there are too many to count
Was it just a random coincidence
Or was it all leading up to this?
Crashing together
Until everything seems like it's spinning and it's all too wrong
And I'm here again
Exhausting myself
Again
Seems like it's been a long time since I felt like this
Instead I felt a less strong
Less severe cousin
Just a vague sense of sadness
No tears
Not again
Not then
Just a feeling
That invaded all those familiar old motions
And memories
Just a feeling
That's here again
Without reason
Here things were,
All stacked up perfectly,
Neatly in line
Release me,
For a moment
Free me,
