living in the shadow of

a new york night i am

struggling to keep up

with the trains and the

clock.

living in the shadow of

an ocean that was

never yours i am

treading to keep my

head above the rocks and the

waves.

living in the shadow of

some thing i regret but

can never forget i am

sorry that you had to

be after.

looking towards the sun my

eyes squint and the train rolls by

as the tide comes in and i can never

forget i can never forget:

“i love you, girl…”
