Visions through seas of red
Listening to voices coming through narrow dark corridors
Shutters being drawn to a close
as the final curtain falls
Puddles on the floor forming from drops falling off of the broken glass on my face
Scents fusing together from the drink, the memory of her
Reality has turned into dreams
Remembering her voice through coiled cord
Now like a snake wrapping around my neck
bringing reality back
But the herald apparently lost his way
or delayed his departure
or never left her with the message
It wouldn't surprise me
he'd be a fool to leave
I never wanted to
I never thought she wanted to
So why did you
It wasn't right for one night to destroy what had taken years to build
Please say that wasn't the reason
I'd hate to have been right all along
If I was wrong, I could have had a chance
if I never see you again I'll never know
Why does it have to be, the further away from you I go
the closer to my heart you become
...and the more I grieve your loss
