In Collision

I just wanted to use you
Make you my lifesaver, reduced as I am now
My dignity hung up
(I) love your gaze so straight ahead
Toward the horizon
Of your future
The way you grabbed my soul
My gashes hurt less and dust was blown away
Your nerves on constant alert
Taught me that, if you want to be yourself you have to fight
You found your turning point
In a photograph
On this amazing path, I saw mine

And so it happened: you deceived me
I should logically hate you or weep and struggle as
I did when kids would make a mock of me
Like a cat I should scratch but I'm inert

Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh
I'll go, if you want
Or maybe I'll be waiting until
You trust in me
How could I? I
Wonder… how could I?
But your motivation is
So firm and your strength so superior
That you're going to use me now
I'm still here just to say... “goodnight”
