So few and far between
So small, fragile, sweet
Significant only to me
I crave I cry I careen
so pitiful is depravity
is pain the new nobility?
Memories of days that came like shooting stars
Make me gasp
Memories of moments that blazed like comets
Make me honest
I confess those seconds gone too soon
In which you love me and I love you
Torment me, urging me
To snatch it back! Grab it fast! To chase the dream
through reality and never let go.
A puff of magical smoke, a blink in disbelief
Tinkling doubt rolling down steps of grief
Clattering noisily into the cave of heartbreak
Where the light of hope recedes
And questions quarrel with past deeds
Did you...? Was it...?
Could he...?
So pitiful is depravity
is pain the new nobility?
So few and far between
So small, fragile, sweet
Significant only to me
I restrain I refrain I resist
My frozen heart so pale needs to exhale
But like a circle I focus, I escape
The pain I thought exits just transits
Everything re- arranges and it starts again in replay
The light of hope shines
In sunny blue skies
For the brave
I am brave
I can walk away from
Memories of days that came like shooting stars
Memories of moments that blazed like comets
Memories of seconds gone too soon
In which you love me and I love you
In the eternal past, and I can't snatch it back
The aspirations asphyxiated;
desire unfulfilled and tormented;
Weary heart in need of rest
resting at last in strength
Push them away, far away for there must be a way
to come out of this loop; this always
focus, escape, exit, again...replay
