Staring at the silver
Bodies and souls and minds tangled
An intricate web of arms and legs and hearts
He's here... but not for long

He's just another dream that soon will fade
Another star that soon will die
Another whisper lost in the wind
An angel that will fly

I'm tired of tracing rainbows
And watching fireflies wither by dawn
Feathers float on a breath
He's here... but not for long

A memory hidden in the corner of my mind
For the pain of forgotten kisses to find
A ghost of an embrace, a shadow of love
The shade of the soul I was dreaming of
He's breathing beside me
And whispering dreams that went wrong
The universe is created and destroyed in his eyes
Cradled in my arms... but not for long
