Phased – Written September 1996 (Aged 21)

Phased

i am phased by your emotions
the leave me alone in this room
they me think –
that something strange is going to happen soon
i am amazed at your vision
it stretches far and wide
it makes me believe,
that at last,
i am glad i know i can survive
you slow me down in my tracks
and i miss you when you are gone
but i am safe in the knowledge that you’ll come back
you phase me by just being yourself
i know that you are special
i am glad that you’re not someone else
and in the cold late of the day
i know that we are okay
no need to wonder if i am going to be saved
i know you are real
because you leave me phased
