someone said "stop"
i didnt listen

something said "hold"
i pushed on through

bit by bit i felt something slipped
slow, oh achingly slow, my mind ceased to know
the reason why
the being who

stop, and finally i listened
hold, and finally i did
know me, she said
know me, she screamed

i traced the figures in my mind
with delicate fingers seeking a sign
of recognition
of something to remind
that we are one..
