Such A Lover

The canyon always called to me 
The vast open space a rhythm to be set free
And I see people fall in the miles of my imagination
As they stand on the edge of the station
Taking selfies in the light
And Marge says they’re just not right
Because there is a death toll
But somehow I found my soul
Overlooking the vast red rock
Spelling out all that I am not
I couldn’t stop staring
And there was all that preparing
For what I’m facing into
And I just thought of you
And how your soul looked the same
As the ocean I cannot name
That pulses inside of me
There was a part of me that was set free
The moment you chose to come close
And you look as white as a ghost
And thin and on edge
But I would like to be there instead
Of the absence that you know
And you have her and you
Have me
I didn’t mean to set you free
I just couldn’t stay by the shore
Hoping for something more
To be revealed
And then it stealed
Into what I am
You were never part of the plan
But you’re a welcome adjunct
And I feel like I’ve been on punkd!
To think I could find a soul
That matches the way that my waves roll
I never thought I would discover
The arms of such a lover
