Things Stay The Same - Halou

You wait

These are such basic things

You shouldn’t have to voice them

But you do

And in your eyes

Stars are only Christmas lights

And silk thread

And in your mind

Everything is quantified

And sharpened

It seems you have forgotten me

I will remind you

It seems you’re overlooking me

I will find you

You seem not to care for me

Did you ever try to?

Am I really so hard to love?

All done up in your borrowed shades of Autumn

You wait

Someone needs to hold you

Before you slip away

Because you always leave us guessing

Pushing pieces round your plate

Someone needs to show you

Before you slip away

You’re really not so far from us

You’re really not so far
