Whirlwind

You speak so violently

Jaw tight, you'd sit and stew

I'd just watch you quietly

never really seeing you

And in the end, 

no one wins 

and you just look at me

You never asked for what you wanted

I'd never look into my own heart

And in the end, 

we grew apart, 

what's left now

Moving away and changing jobs

Leaving behind new found friends

Resumes, walking, 

interviews and train-hopping

I knew it'd be hard, but never take this long

parties, faces, 

names and places

Turn on's starting while my world keeps turning

Writing like my hands on fire

flying on the wings I've borrowed

dancing with the fire snake

grooving for my shadow's sake

I feel a little like a child

looking back on what we created

I still think I hate you

for what you hid

In the end, 

were you ever my friend, 

you stranger

Now and then, I still think of you

and our little dog too

Still feels like 

a hole in my heart, 

and I just wonder why
