Time forges the rivulets of my heart
In their contorted paths
Till I know not their ways

I always thought they would lead me
To new beginnings
Open roads to another heart
From a knotted birth

Till I have exhausted
Enough of them
To realize that
Though they may seem
To be traveling towards
Other turning threads
Of enigmatic goals

They will always wind back
To their core
To the nothingness
Of a hollow
End.

Everyday
From when I open my eyes
Till I bid adieu to the unwilling nights
I sit empty minded
And refresh

Old news
Refresh

Samething
Refresh

Silence
Refresh

Nothing ever changes
No one ever answers
Except the hollow fear
And knowing emptiness

Still,
I sit
And
Refresh.

I like to lay beside warm bodies
Never too used to the cold
But my love is for naught
but a dream within a dream

I still want to be with you
Through the tulips and willow
But I don't know, don't know
If my memories still withhold
Within, within you

Because
You left me caressing the air
Breath what's not there through
Me and my naked soul
My naked soul
My naked soul

Swimming through the wind
I saw shadows but nothing to hold
I kept my memories of old
and a silent story to be told

But
Your absence stripped me bare
and left me in the cold
Me and my naked soul
My naked soul
My naked soul
I sat under the willow shade
Peeled at the pink rose
and thought of you
But nothing's clear

Since
You left me here
With another muddled affair
I can only feel
Us and our naked souls
Our naked souls
Our naked souls

If the Earth vanishes
The sun still rises
But, what about the moon;
I am lost in orbit without you.

If the Earth vanishes
The sun still rises
But, what about the moon;
I am lost in orbit without you
Fringes away from
Drifting further and further deep
into the dark abyss unknown.
Still, I struggle to remain close to you
(Or where you were)
Pulled by the elusive sight of the light that once
Dawned and dusked on
Both me and you
Savouring whatever sweet traces that's left of you
Embracing the illusive presence of you
Hoping one day you would unexpectedly return in place
And your leaving had brought me ever closer to
You.

My love for you didn't perish
In our clash of silent indifference
That devoured me whole
And tore me apart from you
Instead
In our departure
I became the moon
Forever separated by a force of unrequited attraction
And pushed and pulled by the invisible strings of tidal longings
That never bring me close enough to you
Yet
I tirelessly revolve around you
To give you light when your sun is too weary to
And hide in the dark at your brightest,
Afraid to steal any light away from you.
I have always been here for you
Whether or not you knew.
Whether or not you loved me too.

My love for you didn't perish
In our clash of silent indifference
That devoured me whole
Instead I became the moon
Tirelessly revolving around you
Giving you light when your sun is too weary to
And hiding in the dark at your brightest,
Afraid to steal any light away from you.
Still, I have always been here for you
Whether or not you knew.
