I Bundled You Up
My thoughts turn to you though I'm miles from home
They seep through my skin and speak to my bones
I tried to forget, but I never understood
How you're so adept at infecting my blood
Somehow the depression has followed me here
Smothers my throat and blows in my ear
The spell that you crafted and conjoured for me
Invented to remind I'll never be worthy
It seems when I packed up to run off from you
I bundled you up and packed you in too
Feels like I'm serving a criminal sentence
There's just no escape from your shadowing semblance
