There is a space between us,
One that I did not make.
It was crafted by your hands,
But you may not recall, my dear.
Perhaps when teary eyes grew tired,
You built it in your dreams,
Whilst I was holding you.
And now we wake,
to a distance we can’t explain.
Air falls differently here,
The heaviness of a space,
You may not truly want,
But may truly need.
Helplessness lays another brick,
A slave to this magnificent structure,
Ever successful piece by piece,
To house the beast that haunts you.
Tear them down with me
Tear them down without me,
Just please my love,
Don’t add a single brick more.

Helplessness lays another brick,
A slave to this magnificent structure,
Ever successful piece by piece,
To house the beast that haunts you.
Tear them down with me
Tear them down without me,
Just please my love,
Don’t add a single brick more.
