I feel her pity
And it stays with me 
As I try to discover
And go find another lover
Did she really not care
And did she dare
To just cross my path
Only to take our joining back
She takes my hand
And I am all sand
Barely holding it steady
I would be ready
To surrender it all to her
But what we were
Didn’t hold fast
Now I am just part of her past
And she wants no more to do with me
I think that she is through with me
Then love bursts a light
And I feel her through the darkness, there’s sight
And her warmth heats my bones
I’m not alone
And though I may be surrounded by people
And her meditating under a steeple
We are together 
Somewhere beyond the weather
There are no lines she can draw
To stave off the great thaw
That is occurring 
And she is murmuring 
Something about hope
Did she she know how she left me to cope
With thread in my veins
Startled and suffering under the pains
Of being pure at heart
Then trades me in like a piece of art
On the wall
Did she love me at all
Or was it all lies
She’s crying her goodbyes
On the phone 
But I speak back in monotone 
Knowing full well where this is going 
How has she no way of knowing 
What she did to me
All in the name of setting me free
