this heart is no longer mine
from the time I met you
it’s thrown away like drops of rain
splashing hard on your empty hands

it’s no use in following you now
for you’re as meaningless as the twigs
touched by the frowning wind
trying to shed the rust of our sin

i can still these wandering lines
sowing toxic in its echoing trace

“We’re strange allies
with warring hearts
what a wild-eyed beast you be
the space between, the wicked lies we tell
and hope to keep us safe from the pain…”*

*Lyrics quoted from Dave Matthews Band’s ‘Space Between‘
