Prepared

Bound for you,

Down the old rainy road…

Railroad flats…

Dusty streets

That my feet used to know

Bought me back,

And the dawn was waiting there.

You were gone,

And I was never prepared.

Opened the door

That I closed long ago.

Fell inside…

Felt the room

And the carpet below,

Left behind.

And I saw the empty chair

Beside the wall,

And I was never prepared.

Walked the floor

Where we both used to lie,

All too close.

Fate was yours,

But the future was mine,

And I chose.

And I climbed the crooked stairs,

So resigned,

For I was never prepared.

I can tell

The beginning from end

In my soul.

I fell out,

Closed the door once again,

Uncontrolled.

And I spoke a silent prayer…

Hit the road,

But I was never prepared.
