AFTERGLOW from Peanuts & Monkeys by Jaggy Edges

Burning bridges. Cutting ties. Call it what you like. Taking steps to repossess the heart I thought was mine. Moving on. Making plans. Moving you aside. Shouting from the darkness where the innocent collide. Don’t ever try to find me, It’s better you don’t know. I’m putting it all behind me, basking in the afterglow. Taking charge. On my guard to not step out of line. Step too lightly then no-one knows you’re stood there all the time. Can’t believe I ever thought you’d be there anyway. The only fool in Christendom who ever thought that way. Don’t ever try to find me, It’s better you don’t know. I’m putting it all behind me, basking in the afterglow. In the afterglow confusion we were still a double act. Pretending the solution was different from the fact. In the afterglow awakening we slap each other’s backs. Too ready to be taken in by the qualities we lack. Strutting blindly, head held high, avoiding the trap door. Don’t look down, It’s only ground, I’ve been crawling down there before. Don’t ever try to find me, It’s better you don’t know. I’m putting it all behind me, basking in the afterglow.
