Allow your heart to rest
Even just for a while
                       Let it slide
     Let it slide
             It has seen so much ache these days
It’s allowed to see a glimpse
Of grace
                          Let it slide
         Let it slide
For once go gentle
             Into that good night

I can’t stop writing about you
It’s my way of keeping you
Even though you left
It’s my way of holding onto
These embers that
Were never allowed to turn into fire
And I will keep spilling ink on them
Until they
Burn out

The last night we spent together
My lips were swollen
For no apparent reason
                                - I think they knew

With every day that passes
This one certain thought
Burns my heart
Over and over again:
It has been one more day
Since I touched you
For the very last time /
With every day that passes
This one certain thought
Resurrects it
Like a phoenix from the ashes:
If I ever get
To touch you again
I just got one day closer
To that
