Tattered world
We're drawn in here to burn together
in a world of tattered threads
one joining point of our whole pasts
is where we dare to tread
In minutes or in days
There is no way not to know
we have an expiration date
So soon we'll be alone
For a life is full of many loves
As humans ought to have
No one man is his own island
Lest he himself is mad
As our threads twist
and we take this risk
although we both know better
we find our niche
to build conflict
and pretend we have a tether
We twist and turn around each other
and around each others necks
We twist and turn and tie a knot
that will lead us to the death
Of what we thought was beauty
but didn't really know
That what we thought was passion
was fleeting, screaming, "Go!"
And of course we went
we left so fast
that no one knew the better
we went with a whim
In bounds on a limb
Though people said "we shouldn't let her
go out and make this awful choice,
we know that she'll get lost.
For we all know she'll lose her voice
and waste effort all for naught."
And yes! they know me
all to well
And yes! Of course
my heart did swell
And yes! I did
I gave too much
And yes! It never
was enough
And yes!
I trusted you too much
Of course!
I gave you all of my love
I have none left
for myself
I have none left
for anyone else
