Revolution of the Soul

You were always on my mind When dusk gathers outside this sad house-- House devoid of you The blue gloom and sadness of twilight Reminds me how we found each other In that dark and moldy hallway  And even the smell of old wood Reminds me how I first smiled at you And you first laid eyes on me. Even that new year's eve when the clock Struck twelve and fireworks invaded That canvass of night sky above us And you laid your eyes on me Hungry as if all beasts in you have awoken And I just bowed my head in shame, Not that piece of clothing could hide my soul. You were always on my mind, Five long years, I was blind And as I slip away from this home we shared You will always live on my mind.

I love waking up at this hour of the day When night struggles to stay But the light of day is inevitable anyway Still the night doesn't simply slip away. Silence, too-- this is the most silent time In a typical city where silence is a luxury Now listening to silence, memories haunt me Almost five long years here of joy and misery. I had two best girls and a young man They filled the years I am about to leave behind But that tinge of sadness attached to memories Locks me up in a room full of reveries. Five long years of joy and misery Five long years, I became me.
