They May Find You

They May Find You

Where did you go
that you could come back?
I thought I blocked the roads.

You crept on in-
in dreams of night;
where I am most still.

Back you came
like never gone
feeling like the norm.

But mid-dream I think
and realize
why I barred the roads at all.

Because I can't have this
and it's just not right
to be pulled back in again.

I'll remember you
and all you've done
and I'll have to forget again.

I've forgotten once.
I can't again.
I just don't have the strength.

So come on in,
and visit quick-
and then be on your way.
