I am back
As if I never left
Did I even leave?
Or was this all a dream
Of waking up in cold dark
Count the frost on my car
The lake smokes with morning sun
The kitchen is a mess
Of people lining up
Toasting bread
Porridge pouring like rain
Time to go, you say
Get to work
I obey but soon I wouldn’t
I’d stir it up
Make waves in a lake
Create ships with pirates
And drama on the oceanside
I wanted to run
Get in my car and drive
But you made me stay
To cry for an hour straight
Make love all night and day
Kiss you goodbye
Before I drive away
