six minutes in honor of the end of a six year "relationship" |
The breath of life pure as its birthspring tears fresh on my open skin Sunset in my golden valley All's dead in the frosty glow, and How can I end what I didn't begin? About to close the door, I find Those who most care life leaves behind A thousand empty rooms a thousand lives that I lie shrouded under I've lived them day and night wov'n them in unshone light And I, oh, I... My love is a frozen river running through the hills of long ago My heart is a fortress ever but what is immortal when always alone I watched from far away You were the valiant one And all i felt to do was hide imagine you would find me The years go by, I'm growing up I'm growing...womanly I walk and talk as if I know what I mean The dreams of old thirteen sigh into the youth of nineteen And yet I dream on... I'm sure you're long gone but still... I would cross that frozen river I would bleed a drop a day until this world knew spring again If i could hope that you would ever love me as I always dreamed you did But I grow sick with it... These tears have starred my eyes My ignorance seemed wise The doors to my sanctuary thrown wide, and watching the day die, oh I stand unrealized... I'm walking through the park and finally, I see it clear And for the first time in your life you've just come through the gate I smile, and wave, and walk on, I leave you standing there, in the sun, and How can I blame the world I didn't let in? |
