Pale skin fading away underneath midnight-blue sky.
Your dress with flowers blending in with the trees
Gra** beneath a hopeful gesture
Smoke from your lips making me sweat
You're disappearing with the light – panic sets in
An image still exists beneath the veil of the night, barely focused.
Your face is familiar,
But is it only because I think about it all the time
The sun burns bright the image in my head?
Or do I really see your face, just pale
And blended and faded, for what it really is?
It only looks how the light wants it to look
You've become a ghost
You haunted me, now I'm haunting you
Holding on to every word you said and every look you gave
But still never enough
Skin like an atlas
Read every page
Followed every map
Coming close to you was like coming close to the truth
Lost myself inside myself, but I can't stop looking for you
Broken mirror
Inside my head reflects
Hallway photographs
Of you in a white dress.
Your body of
Terribly beautiful memories
That shape of our history
You had better reasons to be afraid than I ever did.
The way you look at me. Exhale the words you breathe
You don't say it enough. Just say it out loud.
