Ancient stones crack under my feet
And I tread a soft path
Asking for little more than silence
As I fall asleep under the trees.

There is a love older than 
The galaxies I count above me 
Theologically whispering a recipe for disaster
That tastes like lemon and lavender.

Loving you feels a lot like 
Losing my mind so I walk home torn 
Limb from limb and cry for the old me but 
Looking in the mirror I only see death herself.

Having a broken heart has turned to a 
Hobby so sour I am left to pray and 
Hope for sweet release from your eyes
Hashing out the interstellar war within.
