what now?

Can you feel the dawn creeping in past the night?
To illuminate the corners that keep things out of sight.
And as the curtains sway the morning light comes through,
And with it dies the rest of me and you.
For we have been exposed for all to see.
Our ugly imperfections and irregularities
But I guess everyone else knew all along
It’ s impossible to right so many wrongs.

And so this all goes up in smoke,
And with it all my dreams my thoughts my hopes
And I’m angry because no-one helped me see
How a fool could be so blind and so naïve.

Well I suppose it’s time that we parted ways,
Although you haven’t been here for so many days
In your mind you have been wishing you were free
And I can’t bring myself to ask what’s wrong with spending time with me.
Were my embraces and affections the wrong kind,
Was I oppressive or neglecting or too kind?
Did I invade your space with my presence and my things,
And all the other useless clutter that a relationship can bring.


And yes it all goes up in smoke,
And with it all my dreams my thoughts my hopes.
But I shouldn’t have needed someone’s help to see.
I was a fool and I was blind and so naïve.

And now the night comes hurrying back,
Bringing back the all-enveloping black.
And I’m welcoming it home like an old friend
So these ruins can be hidden once again.
