The Blood & The Bones

I could’ve sworn when you were mine and I, yours that I felt the sun surround me.

And now, well you have gone.. the you I knew, anyway.

And I’m cold. And we are shadows. Just shadows.

I keep reaching out stretching my fingers trying like hell to find you.

But I can’t wrap my fingers around something that’s simply no longer there.

And I ask myself all the time, where does the love go?

Does it fall away between these shadows?

Or does it sit there in the in between?

Does it float like those particles you only see in the right light until finally it settles elsewhere, out of sight but never quite forgotten, or is it just suddenly, no more?

I wish I knew. I wish I knew so I could find it, pull it back to me. Hold it tight, forever.

But, it’s gone. I have searched and searched in my heart and in your eyes and it’s just gone.

And what is left is just the notion that it was once alive and a part of us and that it made us invincible together. Together. I felt the sun on both sides when it was you and me and now I feel no warmth at all.

It’s still shines, it’s out there but you and I, well we are just two lengths of darkness. Nothing exactly tangible but nothing completely invisible either. Just a flimsy portrayal, an outline of who we might’ve been together.

Yes, now, what was once we is just a you and just a me and that’s just shadows and the particles in between.
