Laying down to rest
I hold my pillow near
I feel you beside me
Though you can’t be here.
You’re thousands of miles away
In distance and in heart
Even nose to nose,
We’re a galaxy apart.
We’ve struggled to get closer,
Opened up our walls
Sent every letter on the wind,
Watching each, as it falls.
Descending into chaos
The twisting turning lines
I’m reaching my limit
Full of unpaid fines.
So they’ve now come to tow me
An unsettled, broken heap
Perturbed you’d find something
To try and steal, to keep.
So now I’m lock away
I’ve sealed up my soul.
Where you once found rest,
There lies a vacant hole.
A space I once would fill
In my naive haste
A broken frame,
Torn picture, trifling waste.
Not this time, I’ve promised
I won’t replace, I’ll heal.
So don’t you worry love,
I’ll deal.
