Dont Go Home

© Duddi Mai 2008

I follow you where ever you go
Neither to harm you, nor to put you in pain
I’m here to protect you
But I’m screaming in vain

Don’t go home
Go anywhere else
Don’t be alone
Go to a friend’s place

I’m not able to ever interfere
Only to watch and hope you’ll see my signs
Appearing for your eyes then to disappear
Hoping you’ll get scared of this uncommon sight

Don’t go home
It’s not safe
Someone’s there
Go anywhere

I have never worked as hard
To make you see the signs I brought
Should this happen, it would tear my heart in pieces
It’s my job to keep you safe, I can’t bear the thought

Don’t go home
See the signs
Don’t go home
Stay alive
I appear for your eyes
In your coffee shop, as a drunken fool
You’ll believe my lies
I won’t leave, unsuccessfully try and stall you

Don’t go home
Don’t be alone
Don’t go home
Wait till their gone

As you lock up, I make the lock stuck
But you get it, and make it to the car
But the car won’t start
I made sure of that

Don’t go home
Can’t you see my signs?
I’m trying to reach you
I’m out of my mind

You’re numb to me, like you’re on morphine
I can’t do much more than I already have
Soon fate will decide the scene
I’m so ripped up inside, I’m so sad

Don’t go home. You can change this; you can survive
You’re smarter than all the others combined
I love you so much, on me you’ll always rely
I have been too vague in reflecting the signs…

You’re home, and you realize
Someone’s been here tonight
I’m screaming in your ear, don’t go inside
It WILL be; what I tried to prevent all night.

Inside everything is a mess, all things trashed
But you’re safe from what ever happened here
As it’s silent, oh luckily you came in last
I hear you on the phone “I have been robbed I fear”

My dear child I’ll protect you always
Hope somehow you’ll know it
As I am your blood, I’m always by your side
As I can only be; In spirit, cause I’m not alive.
