The Scenario

I've left a dozen like you lingering in darkness
Spinning 'round the edges of my mind.
In thoughts that dance like gleeful natives
Day by day I find that I live
Often-most in seeing what's behind.

If there's a comfort it's in knowing that my memory
will weaken every moment, every day.
The images will ever fade and
Turn into a deeper shade of
grasping, yawning, satisfying gray

That's the lie I've tried to forget.
To live with you is to live with regret.
Close your eyes and you won't see my hand.

Remember the chance in the moment we met.
I haven't gotten rid of it yet.
The lie is that we still might understand.

Over and over I've played the scenario
Backwards and forwards and still haven't found how it
Could have gone differently so it was meant to be so.

In bouts of weakness I get lost in wand'ring thoughts of you
And dwelling on the things that might have been.
In better times I guard against this
Tendency but the truth is
I always find I want to let them in.

But once you're there it's not too long before you fade again
It seems I just can't keep you satisfied.
Your face floats in front of me
Then takes its leave by slow degree
And gradually the heartache will subside.
