Ane Brun

There were nights, and mornings
when you clung to me.
Found your way into my bones, my joints
into my veins.
Like an animal you coiled your darkness around me
you spelled your name in charcoals
all over my body

But these days I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
A little further away but I'll walk with you
These days, I let you stay

There were summer days and nights
when I was blind to you.
You were quiet and you were still
even when the, moon was full
My temporary state of lightness would scare me
After all I was sure
you were most strong then, I was daring.

But these days I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
These days, I just talk with you
These days, I let you stay

A little further away but I'll walk with you
These days, I let you stay
The things you showed me over the years,
The roads you blocked and how you will define me

These days, I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
These days, I just talk with you
These days, these days
