Come Back - Derek Klena

Blue ink sinks in,

Like a ghost that won’t wash off your skin

It still comes back

It still comes back

Bees fight

Bees sting

Watch them die and you can’t do a thing

They won’t come back

Where do you go

I don’t know

I don’t know anymore

There is no before

Only now

They scoff

They spit

No parade

All you get is shit

When you come back

When you come back

Replay

Each death

Each day

There’s a guilt that you can’t shake away

For coming back

Where do you go?

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

How to come back

Come back

Come back

Come back

Come back

Come back
