Dont Turn Round
The tears a barrier to quell the sight as she turns to leave
The scream inside cannot kill the sound of her steps as she walks away
Her eyes the sea beyond the burning sand filled now with hate
Dont turn round
for i could never do this again
As i turn from her
before sole has touched the earth
all the times we had and never will have
crumbled to dust
Never the man that she deserved
Never the man she needed
Never the man
And forevermore unsure
cradled by the darkness that surrounds me
and warmed by the dead memories
