No Need to Go
I feel I'm half a different person now,
and cringe at what I said a year ago.
So did I really say all that, and row?
But surely not, not that, oh no, oh no.
Yet how can I not know that such a feeling
had caused a type of strangeness with another?
And was it such a deal that had me reeling
with friend or mum or dad or sister, brother?
But surely no, not that, but boundless leisure:
I stroke a cat, I cock my hat, I chat.
I know this life can bring delightful pleasure:
a joyous mood that is an acrobat.
I'm feeling different, yes, but will not go.
No wish to leave you, no - oh no, oh no.
