I Remember

I remember the sounds from the hall

And the books on the shelf

I remember them all

I remember the clock on the desk

And the chair and the rug

And all of the rest

Like the venetian blinds

Drawn shut

The record playing

Over and over

Until dawn until

The grooves had worn thin

On that one song

I remember thinking we were worlds apart

Until I heard your words and they

Spoke my heart

I remember thinking I was too far gone

And you reminded me

That there is no such thing

I remember a weight like lead

Crashing down on my hope

Thunder in my head

I remember the pain the spasm

The sense of loss

Falling into a chasm

And the blinds...
