Many Miles

You came tumbling
Diving into my yesterday
Freeing my spirit
But hanging me on every word you said
Feigning emotion
Then piercing me to shreds
And I have broken pieces to sweep up
While you make yourself whole
Oh you wily one
Feasting on your daily bread
On the very blood of my soul
How can you breathe?
Living like a thunderbolt
Yet
So cloudy in my head
The world will not be at your feet my dear
And I've walked many miles away from here
Many miles away
Many miles away
