Don't follow too close behind me
The fleeting time spent deciding
Which way to lose those around me
The only way I know
Inside my reason for feeling
Like there's a purpose in leaving
Distant but still so appealing
No place to call my own
With feelings explained through this writing exchange
I embrace this pain that I feel again
Beside myself, silence is unsafe
You leave, I follow
Inside my mind
Repeating my old ways
In spite of all those behind me
Each waking hour lost to bad timing
I'll stand beside the unruly
The lost just seem to roam
And when the dust has all cleared
I'll still be left alone here
Remains of who disappeared
For that I can atone
