March

I saw you sitting by yourself in the street, it was the First time a single soul had seen you in weeks You were staring at the sky with your hand on your heart Your skin was snow white, but your eyes were so dark You said you can't go back there again And you can't go on without him I heard you screaming through the walls last night It seems you took a season trying to set things right But still you close the curtains and draw the blinds Then lie awake cursing every thought in your mind Because you can't go back there again And you can't go on without him Then one day you crack the door Squinting hard against the sun Throw yourself upon the earth Don't sleep until your toil is done Soaked in blood and afterbirth Screaming for your mother's arms Throw yourself upon the earth Know that it'll bring you home Know that it'll break your heart Just let it pull you clear apart I still remember how you looked last March When they found that note he left in Overland Park And you've always known you can't go back to the start And so you live inside that moment when it all fell apart Cause you can't And you can't go back there again And you can't go on without him --- March - David Wirsig
