Don’t go away but don’t stay
That dull, dark sting keeps me warm at night
I think the clock hands might have stopped
So I won’t be surprised when that ache won’t go
I look in the mirror, I know your gaze is there
Bouncing around back and forth forever
Watching the Christmas gifts disappear at the pawn shop
They don’t demand much worth from a stranger
Your meticulous words, they hang like curtains
Bearing fruit on the vine fading out in the sunlight
Shining through a magnifying lens, burning all of them black
A lovely shade of night I know is coming
Don’t go away but don’t stay
That dull, dark sting keeps me warm at night
I think the clock hands might have stopped
So I won’t be surprised when that ache won’t go
Sometimes I just think I am made
Of metal and stone and all things arcane
It erodes from all sides every time
And I never can tell if it’s even there
