I had to go back in the midst of time
To a place where I was kept in line
To smile and chatter as if all was ok
Whilst biting my tongue, keeping my say.
Yet as I was walking along in the street
The rain coming down, heavily like sleet
My two worlds collided and I went in shock
The past and the present both on the same rock.
My brain just stopped functioning, no coherent thought
This tableau was surreal, against logic I fought
Seems I cannot take this, I cannot explain
So off I just bolted, away in the rain.
