Creeping Time (2006) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

listen to me
listen very carefully
I'm running away
to a place I know I'm free

crazy how things are now
days pass without
any memories

I crossed a path that I hadn't seen
I was not alone
just a place my mind could see
let me be
let me be
my life and time is now here
where my choices can agree

If I don't wake up
my minds' made up
to a place where I'm out of touch...

I tried to reach you
I tried to please you
Now that I've gone away
You wished I would have stayed

No one forced me to do it
I left for no one
