The Questions

What if I get married?

What if I have a kid?

Is this what you wanted,

When we were little kids?

The heartbreak wounds

The soul it sighs

The mind grapples with its lies.

Who are you now?

Can you see the dawn

Dawning in my eyes?

I think betimes I’m not who I was

Cause that was part of you

You were the old me that I shed

When you, rejecting, banishéd.

I won’t go back

I must move on

Will your crossing lead

to Babylon?

I’ve crossed and chose the narrow way

Follow now, but do not stay

For Babylon sweeps her vast advance

Across the wide and wandering paths.

I hope when I get married

That I will find you here

But I will walk and not look back

Old me remain forever vanishéd.
