Time Felt Distorted

Time felt distorted

I had no place to go

I thought she loved me

I didn’t know

That her love was chained

To a past

I didn’t know

The cuffs were padlocked

Bound

Held tight

To a future I could never fight

I tried to save her

If only I’d known

Her past was a story

She never owned

So she left us

Alone and confused

I miss her

And wish my knowledge

Now I could use

To say mum, you tried your best,

One day, maybe,

We’ll meet again

And the past will be put to rest
