I was also tired when you left

I was also tired when you left

I wished you wouldn’t be

I take you everywhere

Selfish acts of love

Cuddle with silence

Pain

I wished you wouldn’t be

I was also tired when you left

You left

And

Everything we had has split

I was also tired when you left

You’re gone

and

I am

here

Still.

(2)

I built

a monument to you

It hides behind the sun

illuminates

the night

Makes me company

in mx dreams

You don’t love me

So

Light it up

So

I can see

the brightness you bring

Turns off the sun

I built a monument to you

Illuminates my dreams

Shelter to a tired heart

(3)

Two eyes

Starred at me

from the darkness of the nightly ocean

I could drown

if there were not

Two eyes

Starred at me

from the darkness of the nightly ocean

I could drown

into

Two eyes

from the darkness of the nightly ocean

Starred at me

(4)

The ghost rises

with higher winds

What if I tell you that I saw him

What if he tells me that he saw you

Let yourself be carried

by fading memories

Like warm water

Like a gentle breeze

Time will kiss your heart

and ask for forgiveness

Rest your head

The ghost rises

and the sun will too.

(5)

A broken heart

forcefully pushed

into a tiny vase

Pumps a drop

Between the cracks

Will you take it?

Will you pour it?

Will you plant some flowers

Will their roots put it together

Again

or

for once

Next
Next
