And we ran through the eons,
The shrouded stars
Dropping bits of shine and sparkle
Through our hair.
You eyes were ever reminding
Of all that ancient history
I keep unearthing and pouring through
In an attempt to explain the vicissitudes of life.

I can understand why I can't fall in love
With the promise of a magnificent rose on the horizon
Or some great hero making me wish I was in distress,
Somedays, not even a tsunami could break my feet.

Once again, you move your hands through mine,
Encouraging me to stay and be my own light.
I explain about my selfish dedication,
My human sacrifices to my mirror,
And my inability to be more than a theme song.

Summer nights are inescapable,
The morning after the most beautiful gems
I could ever let collect dust.
In your heart I see a star of ash
And my own skin is wrapped in an evening song.
This indescribable after taste
Makes me wish for an eternity of searching.
