Incessant Hum

Lutz Bacher

Tangled in two.

Overwhelmed with the old and the new. 

I'm caught in a flood of nostalgia.

Sometimes I can feel it all slipping away: a life I used to live. 

"Leaving behind Toronto's incessant hum [. . .] I've sacrificed so much of my life in order for this to work."

I've tried to fight -
To keep it from changing,
still knowing that I'm pursuing a life worth living.

And as a piece of my heart is and will always be left with you, the rest 

is off chasing dreams, sailing around the world.
