This One's For You

My whispers crash around me
And the crystal hearts collide
Oblivion of rainbows
Upon this great sutured divide

But I feel the threads of fate
Are being cut from this hand
And the chords are drifting to their close
As I wade aimlessly in the sand

My eyes are wet; a raging sea
My soul is broken, oh don’t you see?
How deep I’ve buried the spade in me?

Please dig out my soul, and all the stars in these eyes
Take my dreams, take my hopes, take my wants and my pride
Take it all…It’s all yours now…I’m not mine anymore.

I’m certainly not the person that you thought you knew before.
Someone told me long ago, that I was as shifting as the shore
And I told myself I gave into the tides, like so many times…encore.

The crying screams of the gulls
Oh! Pierce my bereft heart with the needles that be…
That fall from my mouth as it hemorrhages and bleeds

Don’t you see I am a poison…For you as well as me?
And I can only tear out so many pages
From this soul until it recedes…

And falls back to the waves and the constant pull…
As these hands grab smoke and breathe stars anew
Until I can find…How I have not sacrificed enough for you…
The day I walked down that empty hall, and gave it all away…
This one’s for you.
