When I woke up I realized
My heart was a wreck; I was alone
Before the night dawns
Tell me my true form, what I am now
It wasn’t like I was lost, just
Words were empty, and here
I’d turn, searching for myself in the shadows
But I had begun to forget even what that meant
From dried poison springs a dream
And I ask time
Over and over again
And the hourglass set on its head would
Take my wounds from then
And tie together the memories I could not return
This place, this rough oval
Shooting stars swimming in the darkness
Are these images from when I was young?
As they pass through my mind I smile bitterly
Those distant affections, were all an illusion?
In this created form I continue to dance
Forgetting the marionette wires created for me
But it reflects in the mirror…
And I ask time
Over and over again
And the hourglass set on its head would
Take my wounds from then
And tie together the memories I could not return
And broken time asks me
Over and over again
And my manipulated silhouette disappears into the sand
Just searching for an answer
I kept tying together the memories I could not return.
And then – I stopped.
