When we no longer wake

 When we no longer wake


And when we no longer wake to share the rise of dawn

when home is the last place we want to be

when we become the reason we can’t

a fleeting thought

 

let us walk away - hearts intact

allow it time to heal

remember the friends we were

cherish the passion we learned

 

when eyes no longer linger on the contour of our lips

and they no longer languish for a kiss

when we neglect a touch

before we drown in silence

 

let us walk away - trust intact

allow it time to breathe

love never dies of natural cause

always homicide.
