Stuck

The nights are getting longer

But then so are the days

Ever since we parted

I live in a constant haze

I don’t know what to do

Or even how to move

My body keeps on breathing

My heart still has to beat

I cannot live here endlessly

But I make no move to move

I cannot bring myself

To face the world today

I’ll stay inside and blunder through

The hell inside my mind

It’s easier than going out

Out of this place I know

All out there is foreign

And uncontrollable

A different kind of misery

Where people ask me things

Like how I am

What I’m doing

I have to say I’m fine

When nothing is less true

It’s easier to stay inside

Where I don’t have to dance

And I don’t have to have a dream

No goal or marks or forward motion

Cause that all takes me farther

From the world I always knew

A world that I inhabited

With the wonder that was you
