Lover's Souls

Maybe there's no way we'll survive this
Broken bottles
Empty coffee mugs
Brown rings still inside them

The view between us is clouded with smoke
As I try to reach your eyes
One piercing look reminds me 
Love can never lie

Ashes mixed with sweat 
Another sun rises
I watch from your window ledge
Longing for twilight

You lie perfectly still 
In your silent dream filled world
Despite my hollow prayers
The days still turn

What will it bring when the seasons change without us?
Will we still create a perfect sense of balance?
What will happen when lovers souls reunite?
Will we still find the hours to spill poetry that fills the sky?

I am the angel basking in the light
Lying in your bed after another sleepless night
I am the siren singing you to sleep
When I am gone my lullabies are only yours to keep
