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?

This is precious. Sentiments overlap, yet all culminate in a beautiful moment: a realization. Happy New Year
Happy New Year, thanks for your support 🙂
Some things aren’t meant to be. It can take time and pain to adjust to that. Very nicely composed. Happy new year.
Thanks, Happy New Year
