Carefully

A sad mistake

A strange coincidence

Two fields were crossed

I lost my innocence

Stood staring straight into the sun

An orange flame

To break the black of night

He calls my name

But doesn’t say it right

I stay in place

When I should run

Carefully, carefully now

Don’t let it fall and break

Hold it tight, with both hands

For sadness sake

I know you’re there

But I can’t see too well

I touch your hair

Inhale your earthy smell

I try to feel

Beyond the glass

Carefully, carefully now

Don’t let it fall and break

Hold it tight, with both hands

For sadness sake

A sad mistake

But I’m recovering

The birds of prey

No longer hovering..

Carefully, carefully now...
