I want to isolate
Us
And let the memories you never wanted to have
Roll like the crashing tide
Fall In, Fall Out
Rhythmic and predictable
So unlike your heart
That I can't let lie with mine
Anymore
And I will isolate
Us
And set up idle replacements,
Chess pieces that don't move like you did
Through my head
Fall In, Fall Out
That script conducted in my mind,
A symphony of words noting that this hadn't had time
To be real, couldn't be when you didn't feel
But they don't touch
Quite the same as you-
Don't breathe
Quite the same as you
And so I must isolate
Myself
Hide from the world that isn't ready
To let me leave your footprints alone
Just yet
