The Black

A street. A place in time, I want to be
A feeling I can’t have inside of me
A breeze, strong enough to shake the leaves
There was never any question who loved who more
The dim, the sky begins to flicker out
If only I knew then what I know now
When air on skin can bring back memories
That’s when you know you’ve lost yourself entirely
But when you find out you’re nothing to me
That will be the day the black fades
Moments I can’t have back, whole days of memories
I’d give anything to rest my eyes and feel them touching me
A walk along the sidewalk of a silent, college street
My heads a blur, it’s black and white, I can’t feel anything
It took the last of everything I had to make it breathe
And now it starts to choke again on fumes of gasoline
There’s nothing left to do but let it finally fall asleep
If love was something tangible, then that’s where it would be
