Dust
I held a heart, its precious glow
Held it warm how I thought so
Didn't realise my grip was tight
Seems I choked it every night.
All I tried was to love it so
It could blossom and would grow
Should have learnt to still my mouth
Now I'm walking down paths south
For memories wont leave me be
Memories wont let me see
A future now that past has gone
And wandered in singing familiar song.
So where to put my hat to rest?
Only a hole now in my chest
So ghostly days form into nights
To a world not asleep, not awake, dim lights
I cant escape this feeling slow
beating me down .... from smile to frown
Now dust is dust, and that is true
and dust I am, once without you.
