Single String

Forgetting all the shadowed days
Looking for the other ways
Trying hard to not hold back
Or keep myself from losing track

Tied like a single string
I thought it would never end
And I let it slip through my outstretched hands

Forming like a piece of art
Put together in the dark
Smooth as cream and light as rain
Stairs circling again

Failing to shut the gap
Hopelessly lost without a map
Fingers searching frantically
Letting go as you and me

What good will it ever do,
Pleading with the moon?
Stripped under the night
I will always be the only one.
