We weave in and out
Of each other’s lives too quickly
The shuttle wears down
Of each other’s lives too quickly
The shuttle wears down
*
Thickly lined walls
Hold more than weather at bay
Covered with stories
Muffling our voices in daytime
Silencing our cries in the night
Hold more than weather at bay
Covered with stories
Muffling our voices in daytime
Silencing our cries in the night
***
I sit in the center
Only breathing
I sit in the center
Only breathing
I sit in the center
*
The room is empty now
Everything is quieter
How quickly things change
I miss your heavy footsteps
I miss your rituals
Everything is quieter
How quickly things change
I miss your heavy footsteps
I miss your rituals
