Resistance

Resistant to change the things we had
We beg the dementia to take us away
From contradictions driving us mad
Simultaneously I want you to stay

I’m Lost in My Mind while we’re apart
Down in the Valley questioning what’s true
Can’t stop listening to The Head and the Heart
I’ll cross Rivers and Roads to find you

Take a step back from what you’re feeling
I’ll give you space from all this joy
You didn’t intend it to be my heart you’re stealing
The love we’ve fostered isn’t a toy

Resistant to jump into this blind
Both terrified of what the future might bring
And yet you’re now always on my mind
Want to see you dance and hear you sing
