The Gambit


I Told Myself But Never Admitted To
What I Knew…..
Insinuations. 
And Yet There’s Still That Part Of Me
Waiting To Get Back Home, Back To My Room
And Say,
That Trip Took A Really Long Time,
Now….What Was I Doing?
How You Managed To Keep Us All Together
Without Figuring Me Out?
A Card Up His Sleeve, The Gambit Was Mine.
But I Can’t Seem To Turn It Off.
And I Can’t Explain The DejaVu.
These Melodies Are Always Present.
And I Feel You’re There But Can’t See.
Just Think- Not Me. 
And With The Sadness Of An Ending
That Just Keeps On Repeating,
I Dilute.
