Distance

She was standing by herself
Just a miracle without the time
So frustrated by the shelf
Left the enemy behind discarded lines
Never big on her belief
She was waiting for a chance to try
More than just some leit motif
She had the evidence that she was sometimes right
& said you don’t know me
You don’t know me at all
She said you don’t know me
You won’t own me at all
She was standing by herself
Just a miracle without the time
She was vapour and concrete
Said the enemy could sleep with her other side
Never quick to hesitate
Never one to feel the weight of guilty sighs
She was more than he could take
Turned his efforts into empty little cries
& said you don’t know me…
