The Empty Shape of You

"haunted by memories..."

Font Size

In you I always lost myself but I never knew

A heart could turn to blackened dust and I’d be losing you

The feather touch of memories that swirl around my head

And there’s an empty shape of you lying in my bed

Where once our hearts were synchronized

Our promises were atomized

A love that turned to empty words

When once your voice was all I heard

Our fingers touched electric, that lightning thrill

The softness in your lost caress that haunts me still

Days were bright adventure and new discoveries

So bittersweet the clamour of so many falling dreams

Those silken nights that drifted long

Then in a whisper you were gone

So strange there never was goodbye

A crushing blow in soft disguise

In you I always lost myself but I never knew

A heart could turn to blackened dust and I’d be losing you

I turn away from yesterdays and words I should have said

And there’s an empty shape of you lying in my bed
