Last Link

He is the last link I have
To a past life I have hidden
Deep within a mountain of shadows.

He is a memory and reminder
Of the promise and hope
That I walked away from unblinking.

He is raked from the ashes in tender moments
The only one who can look in my eyes
And see what he knows.

He is your keeper
The last one who knows
Of all my tears at midnight
And everything we didn’t choose

In

In a world with no regrets
You are mine
In a life that doesn’t look back
I can’t take my eyes off you
In a solitary moment
I can feel you
But in a time that moves on
I move further away

Moving on

Moving on
Back to the city of shadows
Where the ghosts
Gaze from towers
And hide on the bridges
Where I dodged you
Years ago

I’m running on a lie
While they look for me
And wait
While they try for me
And I don’t tell

Moving back
To a city of hope
Where I once believed
In you
In us
In me
Each time

Moving through
The memories
And fears
The failures
The dreams evaporated
Now with the ones
That have taken their place.

Think

Live by the road
And don’t look back
Rules I’ve long lived by
Rules that I break every time
Any time any essence of you
Walks into my life

No regrets
Live in the moment
Strength and solitary
Bound and unbidden
Bleeding and remorseful
When I think of you
