Past the strain, fever crushed I woke to human sound An empty street Loneliness, a fire going out I feel estranged From all the world around The feeling's grown I fear I'm letting go
Down the street At once where worlds collide And light you alone In an effort strained I stopped to find the line Best ends the poem Where were you When all of this was fucked And on it's side? Those words I underlined
In your part, you a wreck You were one foot back Counting and weighing the odds You were wrong for it love There was something there Now erased to black With the wrongful acts Of your warm lit half You can't rely on me To straighten you away
Now the weight Of all that's fallen down Is mine alone I see the way You watched your walk Of blindness find a home Well I know that change To let become as right What is known I seen that letting go
And in the parting wreck You a wounded lamb You couldn't win in the odds All your mournful love Into some thin air Well I was way in the isles In a wanderlust In the sunlit air I saw a light on you But it faded away
All Your Promise
You leaned too far back Ended on your ass, alone Counting days to the fair You can go with A friend that you lost Then you'd feel the heat Sitting near the fire Now when you're flying over water Tell me do you ever feel That you were denied Of your reason, all your promise
Hold me, for just once Without any address Of failed form Life's thorn in my chest Even if it's real Even when I'm lost I am on your side I belong to you You belong to your faults To your reasons and to the times
Drowning in your ocean of love Tied to you, a stake in your flood Still all your brightness of form Shone under light it gets pale I would have stayed in your arms If you could ever get there
