Somewhere Away


i sat like a scarecrow in my seat

muttering suggestions at my feet

had feelings that tried not to be seen

strapped onto my ankles and discreet


lost amidst the exorbitant schemes

lingering within a half-dreamt dream

suddenly she says she has to leave

she has somewhere that she has to be


she’s always on her way somewhere... it seems

she’s always on her way away from me


love is just a shadow of belief

who is there to say we were to be?

could that have been her last dance with me?

i didn’t even know we were dancing


suddenly she says she has to leave

she has someone that she has to meet


she’s always on her way somewhere... it seems

she’s always on her way away from me
