Swallow

I stood near the window
Watching the sky become a mass of tears
Stars are falling
Trains are calling
And I am wishing away

The light from the moon rain
Ate through the glass
And swallowed my feet again
The room is empty
I am empty it
Echoes in here

I tear and long for your face
My lips weep for your skin
And my bones ache with sorrow
And this is how it begins

The air is my midnight
And days never turn
Until I breathe my last
Love, forever, my chest, it burns
Since you left me cooing here

I've stitched and I sewn small rocks in my skin
To level how much I miss
But I miss you, darling
And I've spoken soft
But whispers don't carry far

I tear and long for your face
My lips weep for your skin
And this is how it begins...
