missed connections

and all that's left

is uneasy words

from valuable messengers

broken presents 

in the presence of sadness

and unknown wrinkles

in a fabric that was once

so dear

unconditional

becomes unconsciousable 

with no sleep to be seen

no more dreams

escape

all the strange eyes

that surround me

make me long 

for the safety 

that you bring 

but your mind's on you

this time around 

and i found isolation 

and hopes are fading

for a future that was once

so close to me

but now a galaxy away

(stay)

in sport

why even be 

close to the wincing

leaning to the intimacy

only if i play by the rules

in the name of family friendly 

leave all that's relative behind

stick to your own kind

even if all it does

is surround you 

with loneliness 

(be)
