My life has been plastic lately
Cellophane wrapped around everything
No connection
Not a spark
Electricity has abandoned me
And magnetism is hiding
Far, far away from me
To where I no longer feel a push or pull of anything
I am chasing
I am tense
I am lonely
Looking for warmth in the most destructive of places
But no one or no thing has a jacket for me
It took me driving
In a mechanical vehicle no less
To feel that connection once again
Almost like you're a gooey puzzle piece
Placed back in it's puzzle
I don't think I'll ever understand life
Or understand the moments, or years, where we lose ourselves
And if we're really ever lost
Or on a continuous path where everything matters
All I know
Is I'm happy to be back
Caring about the night's breeze
A sip of tea and honey
And enjoying the softness of a blanket
Caressing my cheek as to say
We've missed you
