Spinning Movie

I call to you
Through my memories
Every night
Like a spinning movie
Like the drugs that sooth me
I’m living in a daze
Reliving all those days
When you used to love me

I rummaged through
My dresser
And I found
Something that moved me
So easily bruised me
And threw me in a daze
I’m living in those days
When you used to be there

Last night in a dream
You talked and laughed
Like no time had passed
Your kiss came thick;
You sipped your drink,
And smiled through the glass
Cigarette lit, hair dark, and the night to match
I got up to leave
But you grabbed my hand
And pulled me back

I lose more of my memories
Every night
Like a fading picture
It yellows and blurs
And turns into a haze
I’m losing all those days
When I used to love you
When I used to love you
