Analysis of Paid in full.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



Paid in full.

Here, I sit hands-on the telephone. I heard a voice I knew from a long time ago. The echoes I heard brought me back to a lot of scars and bad dreams. We used to sit by the stream and hold hands. Then watch the leaves as they drift by. Now all I can do is sit here and cry. I see another woman in your eyes. And the reflections I see are not me. I think you have to set me free. I hold the key now, and I can open a new door. I will not end up on the floor anymore. So if you came back to offer me scars and bad dreams, I have already paid in full.
