All That Now Has Left Your Reach

she says you'll regret this

ten years down the line

in the same way that she now feels the sting

from the void of the spark that she brought to my eye

and only now do I think she's right

though ten years haven't passed

I can feel it in your subtle glance

just a ghost of a question

taking residence in your mind

what would life have been

where would we have been

and I could have told you then

but I won't tell you now

there's nothing left to learn from this

there's no one left to burn for this

there's nowhere we can bring ourselves

that won't reflect the place we left

we hope in time the world goes blind

the stars shut down yet we still find

there's nowhere we can show our face

still scarred yet no one else will burn

time has severed our connection

you don't even know my smile

you can't even read my eyes

and she says you'll realize this

as she won't admit she has

all these things we could have seen

all that now has left your reach
