I’ll forever be alone Trapped in the cruel prison of my mind Where every thought is solely mine Or so I believe to be true
Even when I’m lost in oblivion with you My socks are wet and cold From the puddles that surround me Yet there is a bliss Maybe it’s the hypothermia kicking in But I’m finally happy
The little specks in the world Mean so much to me For what is the world without tiny specks? Hold me close Whatever happens next Promise me you won’t forget
You will never think the way I think And I will never understand the way you think To a degree, none of us are the same We’ll never be the same You’ll never understand me Hell, I don’t even understand myself For if I saw a carbon copy of myself I’d probably scream
If you were to unravel my mind you’d see a fading beauty, With its edges tainted by charcoal Consumed by the fire Not everything could be preserved Vanished like the great works of Alexandria
As your mind wanders into the vast forest of life Will you remember me as you are shivering in the shadows? As you bathe in the sunlight surrounded by wildflowers? As you’re hiding in a cave in what feels like your final hours? As you are at the top the largest tree looking down, King of the World? As you take another to embrace? With your hands upon her waist? Will you remember my face? The blackberries, how bittersweet they taste?
Love is priceless, but nothing is free So what is really the cost?
We bunkered up in a birdhouse But winter has passed And we have to move on For we were already consumed by the frost So here I say farewell Please embrace me once more as I crumble In the ice, our love will be preserved until the end of time And I'll forever remember when I had your heart And you had mine I will be consumed by what it could’ve been But deep down, we both know here it must end
April Showers Bring May flowers But April is awfully long
