Memorare

slipping between us, the ghost & the mourning
 prayers spent finding, a reason to stay
 painful and aching, the balance is breaking
 with so many words, I don't know what to say...
 our planets break orbit like paper and water
 delicate dancing on the edge of her lips
 something unsettled, and something remembered
 something forgiven, keeps silent with-in
 and she turns to me with tears in her eyes
 as if she doesn't see the tempest inside
 and our hearts are beating, but no-one is breathing
 a small thing I think, so close to the end
 The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my own
 and something sacred, it could be dying - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
 blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
 inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
 that I remember...
 oh, Memorare
 oh, Memorare
 Kisses left longing, somewhere behind us
 asking for comfort, like cats in-between
 and this new regretting, how foolish the choices
 that once seemed so meaningful, sturdy, & sane.
 our seconds of silence, last half of forever-
 searching for glimpses that lovers embraced
 how close and how distant, we stand to each other
 knowing that nothing, can ever be replaced
 The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
 and something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
 blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
 inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
 that I remember...
 oh, Memorare
 oh, Memorare
 The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
 and something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
 blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
 inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
