Opaline

See my scars

They come from the other half

The drowning god

My words are bouncing off the ground

I see them all around

But your back was turned

My heart had to learn

These years

What a theft?

Forty-six now

How many left?

Recall the red sun burning

Over the avenues, and into our view

Radiance that signified

Magnified

Divergent hue

I see the last day turning

Straight into emptiness

How did it get so late?

Your little voice in shadow now

Sowing seeds to segregate

Opaline

Saw the trail of the fleeting twin

Through last year's grass

With the curtain closing in a bit

I will go where I see fit

Love me not

For I was never one to pass the test, no

All for the best

You're heading east

If you go now

I go west

I see the last day turning

Straight into emptiness

How did it get so late?

Your little voice in shadow now

Sowing seeds to segregate

Gliding

Weightless

Through the vapour

Off the map and into loss

No more wisdom here to gather

No more boundaries to cross

I see the last day turning

Straight into emptiness

How did it get so late?

Your little voice in shadow now

Sowing seeds to segregate

I had a futile dream

It rose from loving you

But the debt has broken my back

There's no need to retaliate

As your train has left our track
