Healing the welt
Because of what I felt
When you turned on me
Your greatest gift was to set me free
Because there are meadows and fields
And there are moments that time steals
And I find myself back where I came from
Glad that we don’t belong
Because where would I be if I had caved
And you’re a treasure that I saved
For another day
But what is it that you say
You don’t have the time
Let me kiss that white collar crime
And give you an abundance of it, love
I let the light absorb me from above
And your frantic pleas and flurried words
Look like the moment a fox startles the birds
And the winged angels fly
I never wanted you to cry
But if you did I’m sorry to say
I wouldn’t have had it any other way
And I made an altar where you could venerate
The satisfaction of leaving me in that state
And I ran out of the gate
And down the hall
You became the invulnerable
And your wall was a stony expression
I almost forgot your confession
That broke into my hands
Sometimes your sands
Are the warmest beach I know
But it has come to me though
That you would drown me in the tide of your hate
And I thought it was fate
That such a cacophony
Could come to be with me
And bite the friends in the vicinity
I peak over at your enmity
And it is burrowing into your skin
“What the fuck am I doing with him?”
And he denies his lies
And we never were great at goodbyes
As we pass each other on a street
Like two boats that never meet
I see the fervent froth
In your eyes when you lose what you’ve got
And I don’t envy you the pain
But I don’t stand out in the rain
Just to please the cloud
You never knew what I am about
