once you came to me
your style of heart
gave all for free
I thought you were free
when you told me
what you wanted to be
we used to stand
around counting time all we had
how we could never be sad
we might freeze in our form
was warm by our skin
souls traveled far
some endless rail we'd known
from some life years before
we knew not to will
it too far
too much for what we are
when you thought you could sing
to yourself for comfort and make
me believe my own lies
and ours never dies
it is always beyond
what we used to reach for
until we part at the shore
waves receding always
many different ways
leaving the still shore
for you to walk singing
your memories
once in awhile
but mostly it's always sunset
or you've forgotten the other
times of day
how long since it's been
since you wished me washed away
