The Harm of Love

from Unnoticed and Unmissed by Heavens Die

/

lyrics

And I miss them all the more

No more sunlight
No more waking
No more memory
Of our daydream

And I feel
The absence
With wanting
And waning heart

This longing
Like a ghost
So haunting
(It keeps me up at night)

Pink and white petals litter her floor
The specter of our love, a glass of thorns

If I could sever the nerve that binds me to her
I would cauterize the rest to escape the trap
That is a love ordained to burn

The harm of -
The harm of love

Can she see my scars in the dark?
Can she taste the apprehension
On my tongue so sweet?
The sugar in my teeth

She stirred honey in the tea
Then neglected to drink

With her arm across my chest, I watched her sleep
In that moment I believed I could feel everything
I felt the heat of the stars but not the ice in her veins
In that moment I believed she'd never go away

All I love, all I cherish
I will lose; I cannot bear it
Jagged love lacerating
Hope and joy and peace and dreaming

Look, and touch my scars

Every winter I feel the sting
An early spring changes nothing

Frostbitten
Time spent alone
Since my sixteenth winter
My skin wears cold

Can you hear the pines?
Can you hear them singing?
