Over

Over the silhouettes of dancing lemmings
searching for a sign of life amidst the void
and sober is all you make feel these days
I’m longing for the open waters to flow again
I can’t feel a thing at all
am I over you at all?
i’m not missing you at all
are you listening to a word I say?
don’t you delay
plans we made
all in vain
will you jettison them?
for a day
don’t delay
say you’ll stay
for a while till the next tide rolls…
into the pearls along your shores — we’re bleeding
set adrift to bridge the gulf we have created
changes that ricochet across our borders
to reconnect is all I want from you again
I can’t feel a thing at all
am I over you at all?
there’s no motion left at all
are you listening to a word I say?
don’t you delay
and you’re wondering what to surmise…
only a lifetime can fill in the pages
we’re lacking the words to describe
and maybe we’ll finally get all the lessons
that only sink in given time
no, but I can’t stop chasing the ephemeral… you
am I over you at all?
it’s no mystery at all
pull me closer…
I can’t feel a thing at all
am I over you at all?
there’s no motion left at all
are you listening to a word I say?
don’t you delay
