How lost
I must be
That all this
Digital noise
Makes so much sense to me

That I can quite casually
Comment
On my soul aching
My heart breaking
My restless empire of dreams
All in a brief moment
The flick if a wrist
Ashing a cigarette
I don’t want to smoke

How lost I must be
That I imagine
My eyes are smoldering
My lips probably
Don’t quiver with desire
My lust is misplaced fire

I am touched
Only
By the violence
Of my own mundane
That these four boys on TV
Can tell my story
Eloquently

Where is the me
That is only me?
Where is my I
My singular?
No I don’t want the euphoria
Of your shared history
I don’t want to be
In this choir

Where is my song?
My language
My Fire? 

Why do you stand in
My way
This is me
Coming back to you.

I can see you
Turned away
Shouting into the wind
Turn around
Your words are blowing away from me
This is me
Coming back to you

My feet barefoot
Map the pebble stones
You have strewn
On this street
But my wounded feet
Walk on
Cant you see
This is me
Coming back to you.

All this poison ivy
All your words
So crass
And crisp
And hard on your tongue
Won’t stop me dear
This is me
Coming back to you.

That mirage of you
Melts
The warp and weft of you.
I don’t have the right
Words for you
But I’m coming back
So I can touch you
This me love,
Coming back for you.

Stand still now
Don’t you go running
We’ve played this chase too long.
This time there is no turning
This is me my love
This time I’m coming back to you.
