I want to get you out of my head
or at least put these emotions on hold for a while.

But with a face and a soul so beautiful and perfect,
why wouldn't I want to see it when I dream at night?
and every time I close my eyes...

When I wake, I am alone.
and though you’re not so far away,
the little distances feel like forever.

Metres turn to miles,
and miles turn to the circumference of the earth...

Worse still, you leave me only mirrors,
staring into reflections of memories
that have become so bittersweet.

Becoming weaker as the weeks wear on,
days turn into months that feel like years...

Please just give me something to cling to,
and I will, you know I will.
All you leave me is out in the cold,
with nothing left to hope for but regret.

And yet the memory of you remains,
no matter how much I push it away...

No matter how much I want this sun to set,
your light still gets in my eyes.
Like smoke trailing from the embers of my heart...

it blinds me.
