Small World

We hold hands
Walking to school
The moment you let go
I live in a small world
I walk home
The same way
Alone
Every day
I live in a small world
And it’s all downhill from here
The curves are sharp
And the cliffs are sheer
I cannot brake
I cannot steer
As I am hurled
Without you
Into
A small world
Nothing shines
Nothing sings
There’s ordinary things
I live
In a small world
Words fade away
From every song
Any time you’re gone
I live
In a small world
No sky
No ocean
No plain where flowers grow
I tread a tiny plateau
Turning circles
Be on your way
May you never know
Emptiness that used to overflow
