Blue

smells like gasoline

the house is cool and dry

like the way his cheek felt next to my skin

after a day outside

feels like a trial

a test of my nerves

but I must not succumb to the fear

that I won't be heard

my reflection in the mirror on the wall is afraid

as I am too

this house holds too many secrets of the things

we used to do

my skin comes rushing up to the door to

welcome you

but the air is all I've got now and its fading

into blue

smells like fire

the ashes on my face

I'm up to the wire with this feeling

that I am quite out of place

feels like a gun went off

feels like I've spent my pay

and there's nothing left in this home

there's nothing left to say

my reflection in the mirror on the wall is afraid

as I am too

this house holds too many secrets of the things

we used to do

my skin comes rushing up to the door to

welcome you

but the air is all I've got now and its fading

into blue

my soul prowls the night in search of your breath

to take it from you so I can hold it in my mouth

and wish away the time spent wandering the grounds

running away from your sounds

smells like your skin

or the ending of a kiss

the brilliance of morning in your arms

doesn't feel like this

feels like I'm far

from my destiny

but I've changed direction and I've come home

to where I used to be

my reflection in the mirror on the wall is afraid

as I am too

this house holds too many secrets of the things

we used to do

my skin comes rushing up to the door to

welcome you

but the air is all I've got now and its fading

into blue
