Troubled Sky

It never did occur to me I had everything I wanted                                                        

Until I needed to feel your touch                                                                                                    

The candlelight burns out to a hollow dusk                                                                  

And here I find myself, my droopy head in the polished ruins                                        

Of a love I've never known, remembering tomorrow                                                        

It never did occur to me I loved the sun                                                                            

Until all I could see was the moon, hopeless                                                                        

In these worn out trenches with nothing but a lasting smile                                            

There is no saving grace in my awkward bed                                                              

Soft and lonely and withdrawn, I take off my bow tie

There I was in the rain as the sky fell and the night                                                          

Screamed, so cold I moaned, lost in that darkness, sleeked hair                                      

Angel with no eyes, life never seemed right, only in photographs                              

Did I ever see a glimpse of your wandering heart                                                          

Velvet earth crumbled in my hands, wistful in my relapse                                            

Atemporal painting filled in by the light, body spinning webs                                                

Just one more drink from that well, I said, turn off the light                                                    

I'm trying to escape this never ending spell 

In the dark there are spiders waiting for me                                                                  

Blood filled mouths in stillness                                                                                

Then the moonlight on the riverbed disappeared                                                            

Disappeared into blue grey                                                                                                

Dark shadows bending through silent trees                              

It never did occur to me I had everything I wanted                                                        

Until I needed to feel your touch                                                                                                    

The candlelight burns out to a hollow dusk                                                                  

And here I find myself, my droopy head in the polished ruins                                        

Of a love I've never known, remembering tomorrow.
