Palimpsest

As you fade into the distance of my memory I can't help but feel desire that this be so lovely a thought That even in despair is love If only thought could be enough But tragedy cannot suffice Desire that I realize In actuality I see before me all the thoughts I thought so tragic That I meant them utmost, fully but to be the memory of love only imagine Can you feel the phantoms Flying through the starlit skies Cleaving images in twain Can you feel all these Dichotomies again Rain, wash down around me All the emptiness I see surrounding Fill the wishing well of sorrow Wash away Wash away Drown desire Fulfill the sameness of these empty days I can't help but feel I can't help but see I just want to wash away To crucify the dream that lies in starlit skies, in empty eyes In all that I can't realize Is my demise to be a false dichotomy Oh see me here deny the tears and fears of empty years of sorrow Bent upon hopes of tomorrow Here I kneel now Washed away into the sea Of all that I can never be Words undone Scribe me
