Tall grass, stranded in the wind,
A petal long forgotten in a scrap book,
The smile of a child who's just learned the meaning of pain,
A rock that stands on the edge of a quicksand pit.
If I were the wind, I'd carry your seeds,
If I were a page, I'd wear your stain,
If I were a photograph, I'd want to burn,
If I were you, I wonder and know not want to be,
Surrounded, but lonely.
