Endlessly

She came and said to me
This time I won’t be staying
The drive was dead to me
Hours of slow translation

Don’t waste the energy
Siphon the pain and chase it
It has a tendency
To make you just stand and take it

And endlessly now, I hope she says it
Hang on to it, how I wish she’d stayed here

I said it carefully
It’s been a lot to take in
But this is everything
You couldn’t stop me waiting

A part of me now thinks I could face it
Without a come down I can’t erase it
