Empty Space
In the space between here and there is a broken sun
In the darkness you called, thinking I’m the one
Who can turn back time and undo what has been done
But the fool turns up his collar, there is no help, there is none
Gone
He packs his bags, leaving some things behind
Takes in the last sip from yesterday’s glass of wine
Wrinkles don’t matter, on him or on his clothes
Nothing he can do now, his door about to close
Result
Remember when, looking at me, saying you’d be right back?
You touched my arm, kissed my hand, you had that knack
To fill a space, to fill a void, able to make time stand still
Yet everything I hoped for and cared about left unfulfilled
Elements
Grey dominates any thought of blue skies
The sun can’t burn clouds though it tries
Winter sets itself down on all that moves
The result of loneliness, that’s what that proves
Abandoned Town
In a town not far from here, just out of the way
Events and scenes played out, some could ruin your day
It all revolves around a boy, a young man you could say
Somehow I know about this, though I live far, far away
