Alan R

Prince charming

Unlearning the hymn of love and it\'s power

Detached from my heart, hidden in a tower

 

Fast and slow, an ongoing catharsis

I stopped asking \"Do you know what love is?\"

 

I hum it slow, but I hum it deep

You might just come here and fall asleep

 

You won\'t hear me unless you\'re near 

It\'s a tower after all, pretty lonely and clear

 

I won\'t sing louder, or else they\'ll know

Who lives here and where did she go?

 

Your genius words, awaken my heart

I could sing if you stayed, but you set us apart

 

Now I can\'t pay the price of the gaze you bring

Don\'t look at me again, don\'t make me sing

 

I am interesting to you, perhaps not wrong

What are you anyway, the mirror or the song?
