A Stranger

Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid, wild one
To convince you it's alright

And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity
While I formulate denials
Of your affect on me

You're a stranger
So, what do I care?
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
Or the last

What am I to do with all this silence?

Shy away
Shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won't you move away you fucking tornado
I'm better off without you
Tearing my will down
