there was never such a time when the night had seemed so young the sun light invaded the horizon and the clouds were as beautiful as the sight i beheld that very moment her tears would kiss the edge of the universe as she walked along fading shoreline the feeling was just so saturnine i'd only wish i didn't get older i could count the matches left in my pocket the lingering smell of cigarette smoke buried in my memory raking my mind trying to remember the times i looked into your eyes and saw the inside of myself trying not to say what sounds good was just much too hard for me i'm afraid getting to know you was most important to me one million words and one thousand steps along sunset tracing a delicate finger around the rings of saturn your smile could only lift me so high before my clumsy words came crashing down on a heart so delicate staring at your retreating figure and feeling alone once again the feeling it was so saturnine the sun always dies young when i am with you my heart bleeds with the dying sun streaked across the skyline our footsteps on the shore swallowed whole when the sun breathes a final breath but the night had felt so calm staring at your approaching figure but feeling floaty once again a delicate finger tracing constellations in the void that was my soul my sky and stars cover over me cover over everything the sting on my lips from your passion left unreturned my skin one with yours tears that fell past the edge of the universe to be brushed away by my clumsy touch a feeling that i feel only at night time a feeling she wouldn't know for a lifetime the feeling was just so saturnine I want life in every word, to the extent that it's absurd.- The Postal Service |
