Please don’t slam the door on my back
I can’t watch you leave
Your tongue is ice
And my ears are frozen
The deafened passages are forever dim
The acidity of your gaze burns my eyes
Or is it my sharp tears cutting through my tissues?
You were my heartbeat
The living light;
And the darkness and shadows
You extinguished my being
You poison my dreams
I could never be you
But you could conquer my soul
With a glint in your eyes
Memory of all you were
Or everything I wanted to be
Don’t replace the part you’ve taken
Please, you’re all I need
All I mustn’t have
Please don’t trip me on your way past
I can’t watch you go

back the the highway that never ends
