The Silhouette of Eternity
-for a love lost
She was asphyxiating breath
and aftermath of life and death
a waning star in sky and sea
the mere silhouette of eternity
She was the latitude of light in me
the measure of movements' immensity
begot and nourished with intensity
in moments lasting forever undone
in the silhouette of love
Lust for her was always relieved
in the nets that caught our perpetual being
faith is only kept when doubt is deceived
with the stroke so subtle it could hardly be
She was a mind of a mere fascination
formed in the storms of heavenly creation
The angels' oversight has fallen from us now
at the end of this play, remember to bow
And there is a place that still exists within
where, to, you and I had never been
She can swim through the opening of skies
She can do whatever catches her eyes
This dark silhouette no longer lies
I asked her to tell me all she had before feigned
that we might both share the blame
When she entered my soul
She burned in the flames
And I burned in her flames
I prayed that our love would somehow remain
At least for a time
This dark silhouette was mine
I asked her for her faith
but she never could see
Just how to get closer to god
or how to view eternity
Bring me closer to the shadow
I'm at the end of me
