Ophelia

Now I’m playing for time
Darling take me to the lakeside
Wash my body well
I am holy now the water’s hit me
Broken from your spell
I was on my hands and knees
Bending at the heart of me
We don’t know the weight of all the words we say now
In a few more years, with open ears
Would you still say them aloud?
They who walk alone in life
They are of sound mind
We can only get hurt by things we’ve heard
And lovers are unkind
Did you hear the sun go down?
Silent as a child I found
Hiding in the midnight of my soul
I am ready now to let her go
