Searchlight

to have someone sticking with you
when the rest have left your space
a name, a heart, a spine, a face
from a blurry place
a blurry hope at breathless pace

to wake up feeling sick and tired
and to hear that it’s okay
hear what the gentle voice will say
and just melt away
to both waste the worthless day

the pictures playing in your mind
as you lock yourself inside
the promise playing in the searchlight

to count the nights since you last saw your bed
to get out the house again
and make it back by god knows when
such simple time you spend
but it winds around the bend

to find yourself wrapped in a gaze
just a gown in a haze of light
to believe it’s safe, to believe it’s right
like you’ve missed for all this time
the touch of the worthwhile kind

the pictures playing in your mind
as you lock yourself inside
the promise playing in the searchlight

to have someone sticking with you
at peace with all you’ve seen
at peace with everyone you’ve been
through a blurry scene
in your tiny, crackling dream
