The unassailable goneness when you lose someone you love And there’s no point looking for them in the sky above Just an empty black hole, a colossal void I withdraw into myself and people think that I’m annoyed When I lash out at everyone (coz they don’t really care) Then abandon the one boy who thought to dare To breach my trenches, to traverse no man’s land I look at him with suspicion but he offers me his hand And it’s so delectably soft, so inconceivably frail That I know in that moment that my defences fail To keep out the love that is pouring through my heart You know I tried my best, I didn’t mean for it to start But it did and it does And now I say that I’m in love With a mortal form of the eternal being I keep wiping my eyes, through the crying I am seeing As he turns from my gaze into his own reverie And I contemplate the moment that God let us be Held for a second like a ball in mid air For once everything and the next not even there As life pulls us apart in the guise of what we’re freeing Now I don’t even know the landscape you are seeing Through those precious eyes and lashes to frame Though time and space expand I still feel the same As I ever did, now then and before In this world of passing things I found something I adore Something that endures as my riverbed soul Can’t separate the distance that it would take to roll And crash a wave upon a shore like I know it will be I wonder who’ll die first, will it be you or me Because we are not vampires, we don’t get a thousand years And I’ve been building up the pressure but the dam bursts with tears And you’re with another woman but that is not the reason It’s the simple fact that all things have a season As our leaves bloom and grow then turn rusty red I thought of you like a hero now I think of you in bed And all the dials turn on the sun of our day Please don’t make it hurt when you go away
