With You There Was Eden

a heart like ashes, crushed and dry. a farewell letter, each word soaked in sorrow. losing myself in an empty embrace.
to kiss my soul is to tear my heart out. stolen moments of azure, smothered in clumsy hands. hands that remember the touch of your face.

I tried to make it last, to keep this light from dimming. keep the last rays. in the place of my own comfort. to kiss my soul is to tear my heart out.
don't tell me that I didn't touch your heart. Ill never forget standing in the rain. when the sky runs dry, and the grass soaks up all of my tears.

I feel this Eden slipping away. I catch your eye. somewhere beneath your shallow repose. they'll shine until forever is a whisper.
words cling to my lips, never quite reaching you. poured my heart out, you said nothing. three words to build a dream on. Im not as pure as it seems.
all that I am reaches out to you. until forever is a whisper. I want you to remember as I will, and not look back in anger.
