old but somehow new

It’s now that I see it
Even when that soft piano riff has faded
And that nostalgic taste has expired

That this loneliness is portable
And like a virus
A disease
It will adapt

In the harshest of climates
In the most desperate changes of environment

A plague that will follow me
Haunt me
Taunt me

But it wasn’t in vain
This is something more defined
A step forwards on a backwards track

Something that was missing
Is now strewn about
And I can see it
In fantastically unfamiliar skies

And under foreign stars,
Dimly lit like a smile
A candle in my skull
The light bulb of the sky
The apple of my eye

Something old,
But somehow new
