Tunnels

I was lost then as I am now.

Tore a tunnel in thin air and crawled out.

Drove past myself in an autumn crowd when we came home and danced around.

Never knew just who I was

No great excuse but used it up

And recited every year for four

Believed the lies at my front door.

And here we are, near decade in

Still feeling I've yet to begin

To know how to be in control

In the tunnel left my soul.

I'm lost now as I was then

Tear tunnels in thin air and wander in

To spend time with my younger heart

And stop the lies before they start.
