That Must Have Been Some Cave!

How far would you go
To spend one more day as your own ghost

haunting those thrift store clothes?

How long would you last

Up to your neck in pieces of the past

Rotting in the undergrowth?

How long will you hold

The stitches that healed so long ago

Worried that you'll need them again?

 

How far would you go

To spend one more day with the devil you know

Waiting for the bitter end

Follow me, empathy
Did I learn anything?

Swallow me, entropy

It's just another day
Through the trees' canopies
The light won’t reach everything
I'll always be in between
Or maybe it just feels that way
