She's Gone

Barely waking up to see her shadow on the floor Every single waking second leaves her wanting more She tries to fill it up it overflows and she knows and she knows She’s gone Seems like every sonnet begs a tragic sacrifice Fell in love with fire, in love also with ice She sets her eyes to the horizon watching every sun rising She gets further from the world she always knew she didn’t fit in, begs her body to betray her begs the road to outrun her and She’s gone Every song’s a requiem for a song that mighta been What she mourns is nothing more or less than still she shudders at the thought she overcomes what it never was but it was but it was but it was and It’s gone. Wrenched wide open still she screams at an unforgiving night She gathers up the remnants of herself from the fight But they slip through her fingers and she is hopelessly unhinged, wishing she could begin again, but she is agonizingly present in this endless aching moment and she knows and she knows She’s gone.
