lyrics

Somewhere along the line,
I forgot I was real.
Something broke inside
But not how
I expected
Kaput
Past repair.

Rhyming couplets
Of unstringed pearls
Chasing an end
that never would come.
Perhaps I was waiting
for you?

Reels of film
That would never be real
Never be mine
Not without you.
You led me through screens
Predestined-
you knew me all too well.

I awoke as a ghost
The clock chimed my corporeality.
I consoled myself with baby steps-
the marathons would come later.
You knew me too well
To simply let me be
Kaput.
