Tales I Tell

Where was I Were you there too The time flew by I’m left, confused I know the facts Yes, I’m aware Nostalgic stacks I feel despair I know the tale I’m sure it’s true I know it well Don’t misconstrue It’s just, I feel A disconnect Not quite as real As I’d expect Almost as though It’s someone else Who watched you grow In tales, I tell Another’s hand Who stroked your hair Another land I was not there I spit out facts An honest sequence Though right on track A strange suspense Memories, they seem Like fabrications Deceitful dreams They keep replaying But are they real I can’t decipher I can’t quite feel Like I’m the driver
