‘daylight savings’
tomorrow goes an hour lost
where goes all cast away
chasing down ghost remains
no saving grace to lengthened days
love’s secrets shared beneath leaves
what steals back to tides of seas
can i say i still want you
can i say you still hold me
at this time nothing spins right
how much longer spinning wrong
another cycle spring ahead
please don’t please don’t
please don’t fall behind me again
a pulse needed to break this ice
melt down reshape to something else
can’t see the forest for the trees
please don’t please don’t
please don’t fall behind me again
for all this light
please don’t please don’t
please don’t fall behind me again.
