Don't confuse my distance with fear
I have no home; my home is here
Riding on the wings of empty wallets
and shoestring feelings
I cruise the night like and ocean of lights
Like the Titanic, destined to sink before the night is through

My shadow might grow substance by the morning
or maybe slip away unseen
quietly into the night; grow tattered wings and fly
on the back of bloodied razor blades
and pill bottles
to the heavens

Either way I'm here tonight
And yes, that is your reflection in my grey and tired eyes
Say anything your heart desires-
mine can take it

But please, please don't try to save me.
Something I felt one day at John's Pizzaria after a Young Life meeting. I don't know... I guess I just felt like because I knew I had to move away things stopped mattering to me, but in a bad way. People got distant.
