Why were you so haunted no matter what you tried?

Even when you laughed it sounded like a cry.

Did you ever try to leave it all-
Then untie the truth to prepare for each call?

How'd you reinvent your shadow-

But never tell your head?
Maplessly test-driving life -yet again.

Adding Jah devotions to sneaky lethal potions.
Leaving some Self out, is dangerous with doubt.

One more brick for each misconstrued thought.
Exhaustion feels cold- were you always freezing hot?
Miles of tears - never get to cry.
You emphasized Hello thinking you were sly.

But when you’re in your next go-round,

Goodbye's are worth a try.

The doubles don’t mean jack, and you’re not under attack.
Now we’re closer than we were, ‘cause this time you’re not playing “her”.
Every spark will reignite- we’ll practice ‘til it’s right.
If the wild cards are missing, please take that as a blessing.
Let’s decipher broken pieces, pocket Thank You’s and the Pleases!
In one of your books, I read
That you won’t tamper with my head-
And whatever happened to the three wisest kin?
If I learn to Be Here Now

Will I always Be Here Then ?
