The vision of you was too much for dying eyes.
Tongues wanted to pronounce but the mouth was too dry.
I wanted to scream at your silence. Laugh at your sadness. Cry at your joy.
Your strength was a stranger i could never touch.
I don't understand why you still cover your eyes.
How long has it been? How long since the last time you felt something?
How long since the last time you saw something?
I don't understand how you can still believe in it like childhood dreams.
How long have you been hiding?
Maybe if you take the blanket off you, we could go out one last time.
Hello lady sweet let me introduce you to your poor friend yourself.
Building your sandcastle fortress. Secure and fragile.
Wordless, you sold your soul to the devil. Whose children pointed at our faces.
Their eyes held nothing. Their mouths said nothing.
Hello lady sweet this is your poor friend yourself.
Building your sandcastle fortress. Secure and fragile.
Sandcastles plain. Magnified rain. Tear it down. Wash away.
Build your shell. Secure and fragile. Like the sandcastles by the sea.
