how did i know it was coming?
like nitrogen before the black rain,
i smelled the death of us.
i could see the distance in your eyes
in the way you let me hands stay lonely.
where can i go now?
you were my hiding place from everything.
i can't go to the maelstrom in my mind-
i guess i'll have to live without thinking.
i can't hide in the music my piano
because you were the songs i wrote.
i can't flee to my room my home
with your eyes and your words staring at me.
i have no where to go
to keep myself away from me.
