The Jitters

The jitters
And, time, it fritters
Away like confetti in the wind
Do you race the stuff you’ve binned
To get back to where you came from
You look and it’s all gone
It’s all just ash and dust
Ripped wallpaper and broken trust
Like Beyoncé and Jay Z
It’ll never be me
Coz I’ll never let anyone close enough
Hide away behind all my stuff
And keep the wilderness out
You won’t hear “I love you” from this mouth
Well, that was the case til I met you
Now everywhere is fragmentary blue
Reflecting what I saw on a screen
The light and the dream
That just can’t help waking itself
They call me out on poor mental health
But I just can’t help
Shining like a star
Oh, the wonder of what you are
When I stop my car
To get a look at that sky
I think I’ll worship it til the day I die
