puritan for fun

I waited
To travel to the past

I was nervous
That some act
Would keep me from coming back

I salvaged
Every dime that I could find

And the night came
And it went

My companion
Without compassion
Laughed at my faults

Anachronistic
Yet without a knack for time

Obsessed with something
Over there

Ooh-eee, ooh-eee
A total eclipse of the heart

Hoarding moments of my day
To share
And then to keep to myself

A life lived full-ish
But alone

A silent woman in a silent crowd

Reserved,
I am a Puritan for fun
