Once
I stood at the top of a new world
now I sit in silence
sulking
behind a black sun
like I was never really there at all
How quickly the time goes
just a warm wind
blowing where dreams meet
and when you're halfway there
you've still got a long way to go
like you were never really there at all
I thought it was the start
of something
but it turned out to be the end
did we make it worse
scattered memories abandoned
like they were never really there at all
it was the deepest of connections
profound and unfathomable
and with all the eternal beauty
of brilliant stained glass
now it fades away
like it was never really there at all
and as I sit
in this cold seaside cafe
I close my eyes and think of her
leave my heart
lying there
