Uninvited


We did not beckon them in, they came in uninvited,
the sunset pouring from their shoulders;
so they walked through us as they would through water,
and we are here, in a different place,
changed and incredibly alone,
and we did not know, we do not know ever. 


i found a picture of me at seven
in the room that i couldn't recall
in the space that i wouldn't remember
har..har..i'm uninvited and i'm ready to fall

i won't leave this bevy with malice,
remembering me to humty dumty and alice..
it' okay if they won't throw the ball
har...har...i'm uninvited and i'm ready to fall

they could walk on the water
but hey, i could do that too..
it's the time when the world treats me way far too fairly
har..har...i'm uninvited and i'm ready to fall

*thanks to The Uninvited, by Dannie Abse..for the ecstasy*
