My Time As A Drifter

My time as a drifter 
And the time he wanted to shift her
In Hillstreet in the dark
And I lost a part
Of myself when I agreed
To the part of me that it freed
In the lines in between
It was the worst part of the dream
I had just been set free from the blocks
And I was all about breaking locks
And seeing how far I could take it
But I didn’t mean to wake it
Up from where it lay
And it is not okay
That when the dragon breathes fire
You blame me for the post that I conspire
To burn in my flame
I am not within my name
I am barely brimming at the edges
And I can see over the hedges
As the man trims them with his machine
And I am who I’ve always been
But that seems to do me no good
If I can only find salvation in the wood
And when I’m on my own
If I could’ve I would’ve known
Twenty years ago
But it took time for the life to show
Through the facade of the veil
And I set sail
On a foreign sea
To find the part of me
That I lost in the melee
Do you think you could just be a friend to me?
