the ramble

I’m standing with my hands outstretched and empty.

In this room, acoustics magnify the silence:

I never knew your leaving was only the beginning,

Only my beginning.

I kiss the floor just because it’s there;

I punch the door just because it’s there;

I never knew that there were two kinds of angels,

No one told me.

The lights are way too bright here:

I can see all my flaws but none of yours.

You blind me, you blind me,

And you’re not even here.

I’m standing with my heart outstretched and empty

In this room where I Love You is the gunshot

That shatters, batters, breaks everything.

You broke everything.

The lights are way too bright here:

I can see all my flaws but none of yours.

You blind me, you blind me,

And you’re not even here.

I kiss the door just because it’s there;

I punch the floor just because it’s there;

I never knew what you did and didn’t mean,

No one told me.

The lights are way too bright here:

I can see all my flaws but none of yours.

You blind me, you blind me,

You blind me, you blind me,

Oh, god, unbind me.

You’re not even here.
