six

six
spent the days like an irrational astronomer (gazing)
searched the clouds as if they had some meaning
to me
pale scorn cried in the blistered change
the pattern was there, locked in your face
to me
and the ground lay in ash, soddened with gold
as winter passes, our will grows old
to me
anesthetic departure into the silent rain
six seasons passed like ophelia sang
to me

and did you see this coming around?
did you see the love hang down?
oh did you see it on my face? oh i don't know
will you ever learn to wait?

you seethed in this orb of light
but why?... why couldn't it be right?
you sank into that shit-hole you call hope
i wonder if it's the last time you'll ever elope
and you shed your skin to face the spring rain
no, i didn't expect to see, such a glorious change
but you stay in, your tunnel vision, if it's all you want to do
after six, and after truth, i still yearn to find you

but did you see this coming around?
and did you see our love hang down?
oh did you see the look on my face? oh it's from you
will you ever learn to wait?

an april morning, the seventh day
happened to be, a saturday
i looked once more, at that face i knew
never got my chance to thank you
meaning
dedicated to amber.
