Return - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

right back to where i started
empty as ever
in front of what i ran from
hateful as ever

behind the curtain i stand
afraid of what waits for me
what is on the other side
that i never want to see
how did i end up back here
what was i supposed to be

how did they get the secret
the key to happiness
the cure for most sadness
the way out of the dark

how did you finally find me
who told you how to get here
why werent you scared to come
what passed away your fear
when did your need to meet me
become so plainly clear?

ive got nothing left to give
ive got nothing left to say
i hope you can get out
i hope you find your way
