Uprooted from -CENTRISM by Strange Relations

here i’ve come to be
uprooted
the cadence of the storm
that blows me ever onwards
try to find a way
to salvage
the best of what we had
without it pulling me backwards
you’re always smiling about something
wish i could slip into your moods

eyes ahead
no slack limbs
keep alert
vigilance

here i plant my feet, defiant
the dust has settled down
i know where i belong now
slowly shaking off
the damage
her parting gift to me
i shed it like a second skin
and watch you smile about something
just like that, i’m smiling too

eyes ahead
no slack limbs
keep alert
vigilance

but at night i sleep with one eye open
just in case you come around here haunting
like a mercenary, armed and silent
come to shred the fabric of my defense

eyes ahead
no slack limbs
keep alert
vigilance
