Disenchantments

Wounds, re-opened

Sore and bruised

Battered and beaten 

Torn down to the bone

My ego crawls on its knees

Wandering lost through the carcass of our past

The carvings of our laughter

Tapering away in this moment

Cruel, you have become

Disengaged and unattached

I fail to recognize 

As the shadows slip away.

I know I can't be with you 

I do what I have to do

and I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how to let you go
And I need just a little more silence
And I need just a little more time
