the room is cold
air mixed with dread
I am alone
in my old bed

the lights are off
the sun is set
I see no more
I start to fret

the heartache comes
consumes me whole
I cannot hear
I lose my hope

the chime of bells
the townsfolk gather
I have no faith
please do not bother
Sometimes, I like to think about what death feels like. The kind that comes slowly, yet inevitably, and there's nothing you can do but wait for it.
Every day on this train station,
I stand and wait for confirmation.
She's standing on the other side,
and lets her hair out in a glide.

Shadows spilling on the platform,
wind is blowing in my face.
Number 23 incoming,
she is getting on the train.

And as I stand on this train station,
she turns around in confirmation.
The train doors close, I wave goodbye.
We'll see each other in no time.

The air feels nice, the station – empty,
next train is scheduled, one of many.
A windy summer afternoon,
it's cool, it's quiet, it goes too soon.
and every night
in quietest hour
I'm dreaming of a cosmic shower

the stars will shine
as night time falls
and paint the sky in shapes and noise

which we can't touch
and cannot hear
yet love wholeheartedly and real

— The End —
