In the Afterglow

Here in the afterglow of what we've done,

What remains here in the after show

Of what we've seen.

Is it strange to be falling away now

Or would you say we should have known

It would end this way and both of us turn to dust.

We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies

We got over our head and never realized

How, when or why.

But now as I sit reflecting on your face

In my hand

Now I can see your picture helps retrace

All the steps we took, places we went to,

Thoughts that we tried, tripping along

On a love we never understood with no guide.

Many things were taken for granted all along

Firm foundations never were planted

All went wrong.

We fell down, and broke in a million pieces,

We couldn't put it all together,

We couldn't put it all together again
