Disconnected
© Rob Roper 2014
I went for a walk
just to sort things out
but the trees weren’t talking
and the robins wouldn’t sing
Feeling disconnected
memories washed away
There’s nothing left here
I got no reason to stay.
They say dreams are for fools
so pour me a dream
There’s a strange feeling
crawling up my skin
Like a lake in a desert
I’m probably chasing a mirage
But I won’t let them put a ceiling
A ceiling on my thoughts.
Walking the edge between
destitute and free
Let the consequences
be what they be
Get in the basket
cut the rope on the balloon
and I’ll meet you on
meet you on
the southside of the moon.
