And when I feel those chords

One two three

I feel you

Or rather

The place you used to be

Snow falling,

that time already?

Well gee since you asked.. 

A piece of this,

a piece of that,

oh, and if you've the time

      my bloody heart back.

Do you remember that night I drove to pick you up,

the road running us back to your place?

I liked the way your carpet pressed against my back

Do you remember the night we stayed up with the stars?

2am slipping into 5am,

and we huddled close

even though it wasn't cold

Do you remember the day you left?

Sun pounding the road,

my mind pouring reasons for you not to go

I don't remember the last time you told me I was pretty

or the last hour I didn't feel you

slipping slowly away

So I sip my tea and read my books

to forget how it felt

to feel

I miss the sound of you sighing,

swallowing the world

In

then, slowly,

the world clinging to your chest,

where it was safe

and could harbor rest,

Out

Snow lost in the leaves,

it fell at your feet, oh

to roam through your head,

climb o’er lost frozen peaks,

Winter

In

Autumn 

Out

In that final goodbye

you sighed ’fore you left,

now I’ll not forget

Barbed blade so easy

In

rough ripping

Out

                     A

                   leaf

              underwater

         pale yellow slipping

  in waves seen but not saved

         down to the depths

             never again

                 to see

                  light

                    of

                   day
