[Verse 1] He stood barefoot on the narrow ledge, Gazing at me through the cold glass. Pierced by the light of ancient stars, Yet only darkness filled his eyes. [Verse 2] He didn’t breathe, his lips were still, But the beat in his chest was alive. I slipped into his eerie memory, He filled my own completely with himself. [Chorus] Mountains of sorrow tore through my chest, Pain pierced the core of my fragile being, Ripping my soul out from its root, Burying it under autumn leaves fleeting. [Verse 3] I inhaled the scents of distant constellations, Orion scorched fire across my lashes. Yet he remained there in the same place, Only he was with me. Only he. [Verse 4] His robes rippled softly in the wind, The purple fabric melting like flame, As if awaiting some answer from me, Demanding tribute from my conscience. [Chorus (Variation)] From horror I fused my skin to the wall And stared through him into myself. One day I’ll dress in the same dark veil And walk the ledges, blinding white. [Verse 5 (Final)] In this wild and strange unearthly hour, My life was choking behind the pane, This frame like a torn and bleeding wound, Grafted forever into my veins. The folds of his robe suddenly stirred, Like thunder rolling across the void. He turned with ease upon the ledge, Stepped into air… and walked away. I linger in this timeless abyss, Where space dissolves into endless night. I watch as planets burn and fade, Falling into his heavy, cosmic trail.
