Against the grain

I go against the grain, this is the journey I’m in I waited for reality… until I dreamed. You’re now a memory, I bought you a cake, I got lost in the past, and from there, I escaped. I walked aimlessly, just for the faith That through all the smoke, I’d see you again. I kept your words, then tore them apart, Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday. How many times I searched for your glance in the shadows, Ignoring me… made me stronger, It forced me to hide. It was my fault, my strength broken, Power is nothing without desire Until I found the speed to feel okay. I caught your gestures, your ways, your stride, But the glow faded, it no longer knows how to shine. And your smile… it begins to drown me, Like a memory that refuses to let go. I walked aimlessly, just for the faith That through all the smoke, I’d see you again. I kept your words, then tore them apart, Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday.
