Your Name
Waning 1, 2021
Here we are at a standstill. We have come to this point where I can no longer trust my eyes or even my mind. Your form is strangely menacing, something that I have only recently started realising. Is it because my perspective has shifted or is it because you truly are changing into something no longer familiar? Whatever the case, I don’t think my place is here anymore. Please, understand this.
Darling, you
Take many shapes and forms
And I'm tired of trying to figure out
Who you are
And even though they look the same
They feel worlds apart
Your face it twists and turns
My memories of you are tangled
Your hazy voice is mocking me
Provoking me and asking me to stay
And I'm too much of a fool
To tell you "No"!
Maybe I should just try to run away
But, darling, you know
I'm too stubborn to go and I
Cannot leave until I learn your name
Once again
Whispers are haunting me
Can't seem to go to bed without you
Our fates are tied and all you bring
Is catastrophe for all that I hold dear
And I can't pick up the pieces
To tell you "No"!
Maybe I should just try to run away
But, darling, you know
I'm too stubborn to go and I
Cannot leave until I learn your name
Once again
I cannot leave until I learn your name
But, darling, you know I'm too stubborn
To go and die
So maybe I should just try to run away
Once again
You've left your mark on me
And swayed the course of this timeline
But, you know
That things have changed and I
Have to walk down this road alone
Once again
