149. The Only Certain Thing Is The Past

I come down off the train
Disillusioned, afraid and out of place.
Your own city was just the same as my own
Run down, in shame and filled with various race.
The sun was blinding in my eyes
I should of known from my heart I was going to die
But your look went straight through my heart
It almost murdered me, but there was a thorn stuck my side.
Parylised and so confused
My mind was wondering was I going to be used?
Your beauty beckoned me
Like a siren to the shore.

But the dead memories now remain....
What we had could never be regained...
You have been and gone and it's oh so clear...
That what I had has truly disappeared.
We've both been lost between the sheets...
With other lovers now, our feelings aren't so deep.
Your still fragile, but I'm insane...
Your much older now, and I've regressed to a more reserved aim.

Your faced etched within my brain.
From ancient photographs observed when we were sane.
First time meeting,
Though I knew you oh so well.
We were scared and confused for what was seemingly
Forever in our short lifetime, both in puberty.
Though when I met you it was clear
This was to last - it should have been until the end.
Though we were seldom-never seen
We always wanted to believe
That I was meant for you
And you were meant for me.

But the dead memories now remain....
What we had could never be regained...
You have been and gone and it's oh so clear...
That what I had has truly disappeared.
We've both been lost between the sheets...
With other lovers now, our feelings aren't so deep.
Your still fragile, but I'm insane...
Your much older now, and I've regressed to a more reserved aim.

And come the end of time and man
My mental love will be gone like grains of sand
And I learn to live before I forget
What happened that day when we first met.
My days of living were then a certainty
My days are now counting down; til the day I cannot breathe.
And in the future of space and time
When mankind comes around a second time;
When people just forget my face
And around the time that we can not be saved
And when shooting stars burn out millions of years away
We will be back again, pure carbon in a newfound place...

We are all borderline,
Fragments of space and time...
Sealed in a past
That for many would never last.
And yet they'll never know
The reason why....

But the dead memories now remain....
What we had could never be regained...
You have been and gone and it's oh so clear...
That what I had has truly disappeared.
We've both been lost between the sheets...
With other lovers now, our feelings aren't so deep.
Your still fragile, but I'm insane...
Your much older now, and I've regressed to a more reserved aim.
