I feel you
Across this heart of mine
I feel you
Through these walls
The inner whirl
Of your inner world
Feels familiar
These wires curl
Combine our separate worlds
Unfamiliar
I feel you
Throughout this heart of mine
I feel you in its halls
Take this thread and your hand in mine
We are forever entwined
Empathy for a stranger
How can I feel your pain as if it were mine?
As if it were mine?
Oh, empathy
I'll never be rid of you.

You call me up
To tell me
You're leaving
But I don't see you by the door
You call me up
To tell me
That you mean it this time
I wonder what you even came here for
How can you stand there and be surprised by my silence?
As I draw closer
How can you stand there and say that this wasn’t worth it?
I want to leave
Oh, heart
You've got
The worst of me, I'm sorry
You call me up
To tell me
I'm deceiving you
But I'm not one to play the fool
You call me out
Say I'm lying to myself
For once, just this once, you spoke truth
You spoke true
How can you stand there and be surprised by my silence?
As I draw closer
How can you stand there and say that this wasn’t worth it?
I want to leave, now
Oh, apathy
You've got
The best of me, I'm sorry
You called me love, once.

We built this house
Brick by brick
We built this home
Stone by stone
Didn’t consider foundation first
Or observe the lay of the land
So this house was built on quicksand
You brought me fruit from the garden
But it was rotten
I said, “My darlin’, you have to pay attention
Remember to water these flowers.”
We wrapped our fears in rabbit’s fur
Listened closely for good-time birds
We built this house
Brick by brick
We built this home
Stone by stone
Didn’t consider foundation
Aligned the walls with candles
Unaware they foreshadowed a funeral
Welcome home
These wooden walls construct the halls
Tiny eggs hatch termite legs
Eat away throughout our days
Exposing rotted teeth to air
You say, to me you say
“I am no carpenter
This I cannot repair”
We built this house
We built this house
Floor of water upon stone
Floats my body, rests my bones
This journey
Solitary
In its entirety
Now I’d rather be alone
Among this rotted wood
Crumbled brick
Broken stone
I’d rather be alone.

Love decays, and then
Mold grows in, and then
Rot eats away, and then
Deteriorates
Followed by long silence
Elongated lull
Into eternity
Like a dream on waking, he fades
Soon to be replaced
By a new face
As will I
Far reaches of my mind
With this thread you are tied to mine
Wherever you wander, watch it unwind
Infinite thread, we are forever entwined
If love is simply a way
To distract us from the dullness of days
Then you take all the love
While I sleep in the sun’s rays
If these words fall upon your ears
Know I cherished you, I held you dear
If the message was unclear
Now you can hear
Now you must hear
Farthest reaches of my mind
Thread remains tied to mine
You go, you stay, will it to unwind
A useless effort, we are forever.

It takes courage to say goodbye
But oh, I want to say goodbye
Give me your courage.
