I have been proud I have considered myself wise I have thought that I was Far above The failures of others
One year ago We were nearly lovers One year ago The closest of friends One year ago
If anyone but you Had told me not to talk to you They would never have succeeded I let you go Because you asked me to.
You made me young Took away all my excuses You brought me to life Demolished ever inhibition You taught me to love
I’ve lost it again The words were just there Right on the tip Of my mind Now they’ve descended

Why won’t it go away This feeling of emptiness That you left in your wake I keep hoping I will get over you It took so little to ensnare you…
Self Determination It’s never free There is always a cost Self determination Requires
To have kept you Would have cost me Nothing To have lost you
What are you selling Everybody is That thing that you have That’s icing and fizz Every encounter
You were more Than yourself For me You were A reason
For an instant I touched it Greatness was upon me I wonder Do you know it?
I love your grace Always seeing beyond The ruins left In the wake of sin I love your strength
Staring down Into my own Oblivion Self destruction Impossible to escape
There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation
