Train is whining low,
I’m so lonesome I could cry,
Time goes crawling by.
See a robin weep,
When the leaves begin to die,
Lost the will to live.
Silent falling star,
It lights up a purple sky,
Wonder where you are.
Pieces that I’ve collected,
All that’s left of you lingers,
They’ll never be connected,
Plucked away by thin fingers.
I’d have given anything,
Just to feel your warm embrace,
To feel our hearts opening,
As I gazed upon your-face.
It would’ve been heavenly,
Standing in the rain kisses,
Instead hearts fall heavily,
And all that’s left is pieces
Slowly goes the night,
So lover, lover goodbye,
Hang my head and cry.
With my trembling hand,
I trace the ghosts of your bones,
I toss and I sweat.
Yeah dark is my night,
But sleep brings you back to life,
Darker is my day.
Mercy, I beg forgiveness,
For loving you too deeply,
For being so defenceless,
Guarding my heart so feebly.
I chased your heart recklessly
So I did this to myself,
But you can’t go blamelessly,
Just leave me upon a-shelf.
True, I loved you heart-and-soul,
I opened my heart gladly,
But you feared to lose-control,
Now all I ask is mercy.
Weathered the storm amassing,
And we held our heads aloft,
Still think of her in-passing,
And everything that we-lost.
What we had was genuine,
But you let it fade away,
Now it seems so saccharine,
Was it always just child’s-play?
Every word meant sincerely,
To yours my heart was tethered,
Left with regret severely,
Now all I feel is weathered.
Wedded to those ideas,
To love and light and restraint,
All those things the devil-fears,
Can chip away like old paint.
Loved you almost instantly,
Guided by unseen forces,
Followed a mute symphony,
My heart dragged by wild horses.
Headlong into tragedy,
My heart left cold and jaded,
It was all just fantasy,
That one day we’d be wedded.
Easy to write poetry,
When you’re in love and stupid,
Wore my heart like jewellery,
Until it wasn’t suited.
I dreamt of you beforehand,
Together in a garden,
Lying in our holy-land,
Letting go of life’s burden.
The sun falling serenely,
It’s warm and slightly breezy,
The birds churping obscenely,
I wish it was that easy.
Lover, dreaming endlessly,
Of someone brusque who nurtures;
Someone that loves carelessly,
Through the past and all futures.
Your eyes deepest evergreen,
Your hair a long rich raven,
A soul pure and crystalline,
Your heart a home and haven.
A flutter, small explosion,
Someone who’s beauty inspires,
Who’s kindness heeds devotion,
Gives me reason to respire.
To be one and everything,
My heart my wife and mother,
Souls forever tethering,
Not just another lover.
Maybe just an afterthought,
Coyly testing the waters,
No rhyme to get overwrought,
Just my heart alone sought-yours.
On its face was robbery,
How then was this debt incurred?
This disdain and mockery,
That left me thusly injured.
Ever be there recompense?
When will that fateful day-be?
One day it might make-some-sense,
Til then it’s just a maybe.
