Keeping Me Here

My day is thrown off course, just because I heard a name that sounds like yours

The hitch in the syllables was the cracks in the pavement, tripping me up

Keeping me here, in this place where time doesn’t move

Where I refuse to relinquish my thoughts of you

Like a maiden trapped in a forest of her own making

With eyes in the darkness, watching in judgement, if I fail the test

For that is when fate returns what she has taken

In the moment your faithfulness has been forsaken
