Time
The bottle on the table
And my heart sinks so low
The reflection so familiar
A ghost, a memoir
Something so familiar
An argument will raise
A monologue of haze
A bloody trinket falls
The mirrors on the walls
I thought I heard his name
In winds of five days back
A need to simplify
Denial of the fact
A reason to go on
A hollow shade of blue
I know you're somewhere lost
I know paths lead to you
Forgotten eyes of storm
In dreams to wreck my mind
The slipping hands of lust
The clutching hands of time
And if I turn away
Could he still come near
Its not me that I trust
Its not fact that I fear
The need of him severe
Look through forests deep
I shall seek him here
A wilted hand under
Leaves and mud will lie
I let this ghost go free
Peace and rest through time
But should I tell a soul
Of him who I found here
The glassy look so right
The chance to hold him near
And in this time for us
I'll find love lying cold
And here, I will sleep
And here, I've grown bold
I found my heart today
The mud and bog down there
The sticky air will hold
The both of us right here
And willows sweep the skies
And fog will roll over
The two of us as one
In sanctity cover
A precious trinket falls
The mirrors on the walls
