This feels like a reset
One with a fatal regret

I’ve traveled the distance you used to love me by
Traversed every single lie
Transcended what I could to give the best of me
But only ever for a glimpse of you

Shackled your beauty to a memory
One caught inside the doorway
Light surrounding not penetrating
Your soft tinged intensity
Of a black dress
And a black glove
Removing me as cavalierly

We conversed in tones unfamiliar to me
Your laugh has heightened in velocity
Since the last time I saw you years ago
Picked it back up where you dropped me off
Cleaning out the attic of your mind
I suppose

No matter where I go
Whatever I would do
All these halls
All screamed for you

I had been misplaced
I had been erased
Reduced to a smudge
On a forgotten page

If only you knew
The power you hold
Oh, but I think you do
I think you do

You could be the answer to all my needs
But you withdraw the blade to watch me bleed
There’s no healing with you, in the way you’ll be
Harvesting a garden with my decayed body

I’ll search the world over to see where I went wrong
I’ll travel to new places to push the horizon on

If only you knew
The power your hold

You’d understand that I’d bet my life
To see your hand
Again and again
And I’ll always lose
My love to you
