Walk With Jangles

I never knew, from the day that I was born
I had been so blind
So underprepared
So insane

Your heavenly body had been my comfort
I knew no other
Deeper than that, I was unkempt and unworthy

Today, I am the blindest man
Tomorrow I will walk with jangles
And have a crooked stare
Because I misplaced what could have been
On a shelf that I had forgotten
Inside a book I never read
On a page that I always skip

Because I am afraid
Because I am more hopeless than romantic
