Do you remember me?
Wasn’t it just the other day that we would play laugh and sing?
Are you remembering
The way we used to be before I went away
Now it’s obvious: I never meant a thing you were just circling
Til you can step right in
Walk in my shoes and give me the news
Darker spaces, empty places
Manifesting and rejecting
Now I’m no longer part of what was my heart, it is over
Gone for just a blink
So quick to replace the space where you can fit
Am I not worthy of your time
All the good times just in my mind
Do I wake to find my friendship is valued far less than wine
Darker spaces, empty places
Manifesting and rejecting
Aware I’m creeping downward to where it’s warm and dark
Curled up like a baby girl I find a tiny spark
It shimmers like the starlight
I see right through your breath
I feel I’m growing younger: still closer to my death
I know the colour of my wall
Endless staring has told all
He opened up and shared his hue
His pale shade of blue
Embrace myself I try to control
Communicate with me and I’ll be whole
Whisper in my ear: tell me your fears and I’ll create them
How could this be, with friendships like these who needs enemies
Darker spaces, empty faces
Manifesting and rejecting
