Alhambra

[sethborsch]

As I lay
on the black asphalt
head in my hands
couldve prevented this all

I scream out your name
Youre only ten feet away
and you cant answer back
cuz youre gone there you hang

"are you ok?"
those words are so light
go back inside
its not your sight

TWICE ive betrayed
I deserve my dismay
all the regrets in my head
at rest they wont lay

instead flowers lay
where you once laid your head
right next to your footprints
still fresh but your dead

As i stare at the moon looking back at me
i wish I could say you are out there but its too hard to believe
I wish you could return to us
so i can unwrite words and replace them with you
cuz youre not here to listen to this song
to approve of it or tell me what ive done wrong

I CANT GO ON unless you are here to push me

And now as hugs turn to handshakes
the shock and affection wear off
and i am left with nothing but
an empty heart from an unreturning love

scene lit up by the street light
the image of you burned in my mind
(in ambulance red) im trapped in an eternal nightmare
and i will spend the rest of my life
trying to wake up
