Settling
by
Tara McLean
Am
I real? Am I a dream?
Am
I borrowed? Am I blue?
Is
it just the dust of leaving you?
Settling?
Am
I fair? Am I strong?
Am
I there? Do I belong?
Is
it only skin I touch
When
I reach for you?
Oh,
the leaves they fall,
They
go so far sometimes.
Do
I blame the wind?
Or
the tree for letting you go?
Or
do I wave goodbye,
Settling?
Do
I stay? Do I fight?
Is
it wrong and nothing’s right?
Or
is it just the closet light
I’ve
offered you?
Oh,
the leaves they fall,
They
go so far sometimes.
Do
I blame the wind?
Or
the tree for letting you go?
Or
do I wave goodbye,
Settling?
So
many times I needed
You
to be strong for me.
But
you bend beneath
The
slightest breeze.
You
have no leaves, no leaves
No
leaves…
Settling,
Am
I fair? Am I strong?
Do
I stay? Do I fight?
Is
it just the closet light?
Is
it only skin I touch?
Or
is it just the dust?
Settling.
