As the afterglow fades

by Aaron Howard


I’ve got a heartbreak a mile wide
and it’s slowly ripping me apart.
It’s this depression that I just can’t hide
and it’s tearing out my heart.

I look around for you in the great wide open
but I only see you in the eyes of other women.
You spark my heart, but you fail to jumpstart my soul.
You turnover my mind, but don’t make me lose control.
You smile in the moonlight, yet frown at my dawn.
Your smile is the queen to my happiness’s pawn.

You live a life in my dreams and lies
that I tell myself behind closed doors.
Yet, I now believe differently about the world
then I did once before.

I know of your essence and of your graces.
I tend to see you in so many of their faces.

I look deep inside, yet I never actually grasp you.
I look outside to see all my dreams come true.
I never seem to find what I’m looking for.
but I never seem to stop seeking anymore.
I see you run away as the time and knowledge grow.
I see you become more and more the person I don’t know.
I see you slip away into the thin of air before my very eyes.
I see you run away with the ultimate prize.
She says it’s only in my head, but I tend to know different.
She says it’s not you, it’s only the person you represent.

She fades away into my dreams, as the afterglow fades.
This nightmare that I might never find you, faintly pervades.
