Nightly Fiddle

Following your endless wander A cold comfort embraced me As you dove into the unknown I could only follow your vague figure Chasing someone, something I don't understand As I caught up to you and turned your face Your enigmatic face still fragile as ice Fixated at the empty space ahead of you Even then you were selfish as ever Even after I threw my tasteless dreams away Even after I gave myself away Even as I flew into the endless sky With only dust on my hands Always, you said otherwise Tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I couldn't know Only as I fell did you tell me Tell me you had been my friend Comforting me as I descend Thank you, my melancholy
