A strange man's voice

calling in the dark,

My name shatters the air

ringing like a thousand bells,

 

He grabs my hand and 

leans in close,

Run he says,

Run

A million footsteps we leave behind,

 

The meager blue outside

shames what lies within,

The greater expanse

made of dreams and tears,

 

Forward and back

he leaves his imprint,

His signature stains clocks,

But people forget,

 

Forget the man who was too

a lonely little boy

scared of his shadow,

Still is he scared,

Still is he lonely.
