Grey Cities

You are gone now

Covered by a horizon

Your salvation

A city of grey

As I wander, passing back through a memory

Chasing what you left me

The shining Sun in your eye

Unseen

At a distance we are one still

In a fragrance filling up your night

When you faltered I would catch you

But I'm lost here on the other side of the line

In the open, unseen, unseen but always there

Every time, I reach over the wall

In my weakness reaching for you

There’s nothing there, nothing left to resolve

But to know an emptiness inside

These inner eyes, that fade

There’s a soft voice you can hear, so cold yet earnest

There’s a solace that’s calling through your door

In the ruins, of this living memory we’re crawling up a stairway

To something real

In the open, unseen

Unseen, but always there

In the open, unseen

Unseen
