LostLove

She called me in from the cold, said its too chilly to go on and take that evening walk
I sink six miles deep into the chair not being able to help but think shes always all talk
Sitting in that house I feel more empty and alone with every single passing moment
I cant help but wonder if I was behind pen and pad that this time would be better spent
I could scribble this and that about the tone her hair is giving me and the lines upon her face
I could then metaphor this house to a prison and develop a Scofield-esque escape from this place
Suddenly a spilt second clears my thoughts, she looks up with a smile and Im all she sees
Forget this prisonI need something to rhyme Garden of Eden with something to match this heaven please
This morning she called to say she wanted out, but that I shouldnt take this all the wrong way
I pondered the statement not being able to wonder if she thought I would cut my wrists, or write this all away
I have to write in order to move on, but I cant get this out because these pages are all too wet
She said she came into us thinking it was that forever kind of forever because I was such a safe bet
Tonight every candle has been lit by a single match to guide my heart along this perilous journey
I need the light to prove to myself I survived and she didnt kill all of what was left of me
She explains that shes already twenty-two, and that the world is all too quickly closing in
I havent yet found the proper words to show her that every part of life isnt a game you have to win
This month she decided to call me on the telephone, but I hardly had the courage to even speak
I buried those memories in the coffin with my heart and now the sound of her voice makes me weak
But she called to say she missed the way I used to make her pillow smell after a hug and a kiss
For once I found the words I wanted in the opportune moment and said, I told you that you would miss this.
