There You Are Again

In the thick silence, on your mind; Tiptoeing, the words between us; Your sleep in interrupted, there is no rest in sight.

There you are again, on my mind

Leaving tracks, the treads from your shoes

Stamped

A sense of loss

Wondering

Wandering

Our tape is damaged, there is no rewind.

In the thick silence, on your mind

Tiptoeing, the words between us

Lodged

A sense of weight

Pondering

Pandering

Your sleep is interrupted, there is no rest in sight.

At least, mine is.

What token can I pay, the change in my pocket

A sense of regret

Jingle

Jangle

In the quiet of the night, there is no end to the buzz.

There you are again, on my mind

Glued

A sense of faith

Rushing

Refreshing

Your whispers of love, I hear.

Even across this broken connection, there is an escape.

On the busy street, on your mind

Trudging, the calm you found there

A sense of hope

Soothing

Solidifying

In our peripheral, rally forth.
