Candles by the wall
You watch me take the fall
Incense burning strong
Mind reeling from the pain
Heartbreak isn't fun
God, I'd wish it would rain
Pitter, patter, patter
Down the clatter clatter
Of an empty mind.
Not sure where to go next,
You were my safe place
and now I've got to save face.
I'm home alone while you're on the roam.
Laying on the floor,
hoping to hear the hinges of the door
Dash of salt for the burn,
just put me in the urn
I can't stand to see you anymore.
Goodbye former lover.

I'm wearing a dress
And makeup
And my hair is done.
And I'm sitting on my floor alone.
Later on this night,
I'll take off the dress
Wash off the makeup
Brush out my hair
Then crawl into my bed.
And I'll still be alone.
And I'll still be lonely.
And I'll still be wishing for
somewhere else.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

You see the cloud over there above the mountains?
That's my pillow of night.
No stars are reaching for it and its all dark around it.
All those stars in the black sky of velvet are little soft lights of happiness in a dark world.
I feel as if I could lean over the balcony and pull the black velvet sky towards me with all it's beautiful lights
and lay it down before me so I could touch those soft lights
and feel their gentle heat warm my cold hands.
The night will be warm and soft as it protects me from the coming nightmare day.
Be my friend and protector please.
