Where did you go?
|
|
|
|
I was told to follow, and so I followed,
|
|
But now it seems that I'm all alone.
|
|
|
|
Our footsteps have been washed away.
|
|
Leaving me without proof, or a path back home.
|
|
|
|
I looked away for just one moment,
|
|
Which is all it took for you to disappear.
|
|
|
|
Were you just an imaginary friend
|
|
Whom I outgrew over the years?
|
|
|
|
You had my back.
|
|
|
|
But maybe you were only
|
|
Fulfilling a maintenance request.
|
|
|
|
Because a wall was built.
|
|
|
|
It does its job, and you've done yours,
|
|
So now the carpenter has left.
|
|
|
|
Are you a social psychosis
|
|
Which we invent
|
|
In our times of need?
|
|
|
|
A necessary neurosis
|
|
In order to cope with
|
|
The imperfect lives we lead?
|
|
|
|
Even now,
|
|
While I shiver as the air thins and grows colder,
|
|
I swear,
|
|
I can feel your hand now resting on my shoulder.
