Silence

All those places

Where I recall

The memories that grip me

And pin me down

I go to these places

Pretending to think

I can think of nothing

But anticipate

And somehow

Expect you'll find me there

That, by some miracle

You'd be aware

I'd risen this morning

Determined to break

The spell of my longing

And not to think

I freed myself from my family

I freed myself from work

I freed myself

Freed myself

And remained alone

And in my thinking

Steal you away

Though you never wanted me anyway

Silence

Silence

Silence

Silence
