Strange Place

I thought it was your smile,
or the way you’d say my name
and I counted every mile
but still nothing feels the same
 
I know that I’ve failed you
and I’ve begun to fail myself
But what am I to do
when I cant yell for help
 
I feel that I’m sinking
the water rushes in
and though my lungs are drowning
I’ve made but one simple wish
 
If this is where my fate lies
in the bottom of this lake
then at least I will have died
In a brand new place
 
Ive been pacing back and forth
outside your bedroom window
the curtains drawn, the hours long
an existence like the ginkgo

(2013)
