the moon asks me why I care
I say it\'s because it\'s the only thing I\'ve ever known
love, the only thing I can never get rid of
that prismatic love we share rings out in my bones
hoping you will see
the records we played were the oceans I swim in
love when it dies in vain
I was
the rose you never took
the dazzling light of mute stars
distorted on rain swept highways
leading me to the unquestionable truth
the sunset in you
wooded and blue in your grey overcast
that high ceiling eclipse with no great escape
Forever is Never
and I come back to you like a dog.
