My eyes burn Out of focus Trying to wrap Thoughts in form. You felt familiar, Like an old lover. My body and mind found another, As did yours.. But I find that I stand Close to you. Too close.... I see smoke in those eyes Maybe there's a fire You haven't quite learned to put out.. The day you said there was none I've never felt so heavy On a rooftop, small and discarded She said you were too afraid To set the forest ablaze And I... For a moment.. I was running after you, turning back.. But if you wanted me, You would have found me. I don't know if I can forget you Not when I still see that smoke You pretend doesn't exist

Smoke in your eyes
My eyes burn Out of focus Trying to wrap Thoughts in form. You felt familiar, Like an old lover. My body and mind found another, As did yours.. But I find that I stand Close to you. Too close.... I see smoke in those eyes Maybe there's a fire You haven't quite learned to put out.. The day you said there was none I've never felt so heavy On a rooftop, small and discarded She said you were too afraid To set the forest ablaze And I... For a moment.. I was running after you, turning back.. But if you wanted me, You would have found me. I don't know if I can forget you Not when I still see that smoke You pretend doesn't exist
