GROUNDED

After he died.

While I see my feet firmly grounded,

Which reckless bit of earth was that? I ponder,

That such snatched its gravity, so as to keep just your skin here

And to set your soul to wander?

If at all I knew

With all my strength, I would have pushed and spun the globe around,

And would have stood there instead of you.



They tell me you are over

I growl that it ain't true

Fighting the world, scared inside

Darling just one clue,

Tell me where are you?


Waves come, touch and go

To touch my soul, I doubt they'll ever know

Time has stopped as the moments flow

To move ahead my footprints yet don't know



Tape of my memory, I repeatedly forward, play, stop & rewind

I took millions of steps to move ahead,

But after you, it’s all blank behind.

With my skin so abandoned and soul so bounded,

helplessly I see my feet firmly grounded


I so stand here, since you left me so

With this only bliss, with this only woe

That to move ahead my footprints yet don't know

That to move ahead my footprints will never know.
