A Sunday Afternoon Epilepsy
I'm sitting in a room across the way,
Contemplating figures, dates, it's raining.
And you know things aren't looking up,
When rain falls down and washes our sunny days.
I lift up from my chair and compose myself.
There is much to do.
I won't leave you,
Don't you leave me too.
Everyday is a cycle, moving back and forth,
There's no end in sight.
I open the blinds in hopes of a change.
Has the rain picked up?
You see lately I've been wondering,
What the whole of this means,
Why I'm tossing and turning?
In a cold sweat I have learned a few things,
About letting things go, but never letting it be.
I won't leave you,
Don't you leave me too.
And so I'll open my door, cast aside reason,
And run down these stairs that lead to an exit,
With hope that you would still be there.
I wish that you would
Always hold me close to your heart
Some day, you'll change,
But this could never change me.
I'm not leaving you.
I'm going home.
