once
once in late day /
i let myself go /
i laid on your heavy chest /
felt my heart beat in the air /
i wished you never fade /
once in early summer /
the nights became less and more lonely /
i opened my locked soul /
yearned for you to take me /
and the silence of reason /
gently invited me in /
once in a warm darkness /
the only light was you /
you slowly sink back /
under the sea /
i saw sailors pulling you out /
once it was skin on skin /
you wished to let go /
and still you held me /
motionless and without words /
struck in the burning of change /
once heavy in the moonlight /
do you remember the blue? /
the relentless of goodbye /
maybe i have you only /
only for a quick hello /
once again we prayed and drank /
and drove each other to the end /
i had you /
like butter and marmelade /
stuck on my fingers /
everything i touch /
turns into you /
once you touched every part of me /
i turned into a memory /
breathing little bits of you /
i find you even in the smoke /
even in the ash /
once you set me on fire /
i didn't want to escape /
i didn't search for an exit wound /
and there were many.
