I Feel Far Away From You

I want you close

I want you near

I want you to save me

from my fear.

But what I want

isn’t what I do

I act the opposite

like lies turned true.

Now I want to keep the rhyme and this sing-songy thing, but it doesn’t match how I feel or what I want to say.

Because I FEEL angry.

I FEEL sad.

I FEEL stretched.

And none of those are feelings that I’m ready to sing.

I love you.

I know that.

But I wish that you’d

come back

or that I would

somehow

return to you now.
