Scared
The search for time
You know you saw
The need for truth
An idea here
A coin to youth
A need to know
To long to see
The way of things for you and me
The walk of years
The talk of death
The sight of ghosts
When nothing's left
The heart that breaks
The look that kills
The plastic Jesus, soothes you here
A mist so bright
A green lost orb
In starkest night
You know you heard
A mother's voice
Within a dream chanting a curse
You know your left
You know your right
You know to fold and when to fight
You know the touch,
You know the feel
Just can't pick out which is real
A scent of decades locked in place
A raindrop on the sill to trace
The warmth of knowing someone's here
The shrill of just not knowing where
