Numb,
Like a Star ~ Corrine Bailey Rae
A dull thud…..
The slow melody…..
A rush of memory…..
A faint revival……
A beautiful cause……
“Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,”
As I stood across the street…..
A half drunk coffee cup….
“Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,”
I watched the park……
Benches filled……..
My eyes flitted across…..
The streets abuzz with life…..
As a silent spectator……taking it in……
“Heaven has been away too long,”
I see life……with no faces in it…….
“When everything else is au fait,”
Time, why won’t you let me stop?
