Full Circle in the Runout Groove

 That time coming full circle. 

You don’t know what has been stolen

Until you find the time

To make it home. 


There’s no-one standing beside you. 

No-one to see what you’re missing

Or what you’re missed. 


The hold in the contract

And the contraction. 


You hold those precious things

But memory isn’t a record.  

It’s a runout groove.  


Skipping across lines that wear the needle. 

What you need you can’t replay.  


One thing I’ve learnt is the good thing you have right now isn’t going to stay.  


Making the most of time isn’t easy when it’s slipping out of your hands.  


Every precious moment

Is too difficult to recognise

Because you have to let it go. 


You’ll always lose what you love.
