"HERE AND GONE"

 

"HERE AND GONE"

Standing in between here and gone

Watching what comes what goes

Preparing to decide alone

Which moves to make who to know

Untrusting myself much less them

Passer-by's with shallow hellos

Acquaintance made again and again

Wondering if I should open or close

Should I let them inside or peep through

Leave the porch light or let it go dark

Should I act like nobody’s home too

In shadows where loneliness sparks

Silence echoes in my empty hall

Questions like whispers in nights

Pretending I'm not here at all

Playing hide seek with the lights

Should I let them inside or peep through

Leave the porch light or let it go dark

Should I act like nobody’s home too

In shadows where loneliness sparks

Standing in between lost and found

In the spaces where doubts resound

Preparing for the steps left to take

In decisions that could bend or break
