After Love is Through

Going round in circles,
No place to go, no place to reach
In search of what has been lost
In search of what had never been

Reclusive Reclusive
Loner they say
If only they’d known
Now they never will

Think, think back in time
Strain your mind
Torture it till you’ve had enough
And just before you give up
It’ll come back to you

The sound of my laughter
The glint in my eyes
The softness of my words
My skin that felt like love

You’re the last one
The one to have known
Seen it in your eyes
What you’ve lost forever

Bring me down oh so gently
Lay me on my back
On soft cushions and petals
Keep me in comfort

I rest my eyes, the ones you loved
You’ll see a smile escape
As I feel the pain swivel out
And fall deep in to sweet numbness

Don’t cry, I don’t hurt anymore
I wish I’d known this before
Love gives you a thousand senses
And then makes you numb

Reclusive Reclusive
Loner they say
If only they’d known
Now they never will
