The writings on the wall for you to see
Read these words now cos soon they’ll be gone
Watch as ink runs faster than you run from me
A thousand words run circles round you
How can this not move you?
My hands hold you tight as my lips say goodnight
Under this street light our bodies turn to silhouette
Even shadows become distant as we walk away
Footsteps become louder
My heart beats a little faster
You cross me out and leave another mark
In the spaces and places that you have made your own
What do we do when love is not enough?
Things that seem close were never close at all
The colours fade from your eyes faster than this final goodbye
Your words puncher my lungs as a gasp for air
Screaming from the fence line
You lode your gun one last time
Pulling the trigger as you open your mouth
Stand back and watch me bleed
Let this blood stained floor be a reminder
Of this: our magical little world
It’s almost over
As we to walk away
Hearts begin to beat louder
But only in the dark
