Sigh Number 14
Sigh # 14
She said there’s beauty in the ashes of our fire
And if I didn't see the truth, I would be a liar
But I’m stuck inside the embers of this love
While she is outside the fire watching it burn
When the moon gleams and she is alone
She doesn't wait for me to come home
I've known I’m not the only one she thinks of
And I brokenly wait for her thoughts to turn
While she roams wondering when I will learn
She poured me wine and uninvited me from her bed
Saying she regretted the three words she’d once said
I tried to take her back to where our seed once grew
Well some things never change and some things do
I’m still struggling with memories of what’s true
Where the trees once stood grown and tall
She just stands there watching them fall
With water in one hand and a chainsaw in the other
She pushes me out of her warm nest and into the flock
How can I keep sitting here? How can our time still be?
When it seems so hard for her to even smile at me?
She can’t help but drift from our bed to another
No matter which hand is where on the last clock
Eventually time will teach me to stand and to walk
She poured me wine and uninvited me from her bed
Saying she regretted the three words she’d once said
Where am I supposed to go what am I to do,
If to me she is right and to her I’m old news?
I’m still suffocating from these breathless blues
And I will write about the sighs that I choose
