Never Knew

I never knew how to say good-bye
Those words, the finality
I always tare the last page out
Stories never have to end
Why must all our stories end?

Now you're in front of me
No longer flesh only a memory
A ghost lost in time
Asking me to fix my bow tie
Smile with a swagger
And say the words I hate

Why must our stories end?
Why must I embrace the finality?
Half hearted I walk myself through the words
Ounce uttered
You vanish from my sight
Among the ethers you'll twinkle
While I sway on in the flesh

Fighting the tears in my eyes
I turn to face the never ending deep blue

BIG BANG TWO

I’m lost in time without you

I’m vanished from space without you

You always bring me back

You always bring me back

Even if I’m just a memory

We are connected beyond words

We are two really we are one

You always bring me back

You always bring me back

From the brink of collapse

I’m a drift

Drowning in explosive suns

Evaporating remaining whole

Your tears

Proclaimed my existence

Before my birth

After my death

You always bring me back

You always bring me back

Even if I’m just a memory
