Split Second
Gone and over and done; now you see it, now you don't;
Some total eclipse of the sun; shine it will, shine it won't.
All in the blink of an eye; here today, gone tomorrow;
Love that existed to die; happy smiles, tears of sorrow.
A split second kick in the head; maybe it will, maybe it wouldn't;
A cross-fade of rapture and dread; maybe it could, maybe it couldn't.
A rift in the fabric of space; open, closed and cyclone weathered;
Leaving no semblance or trace...all the days hang tarred and feathered.
