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
