Late at night; the hue hung around
Two lovers stood transfixed and poised
Naked to their eyes, car honks of agreement
Two lovers stand gazing and aroused
The stretch was done and the food all gone
Two lovers made their way to each other
Stop signs and eager minds
Two lovers make friends with their lips
Rock and roll, with disregard
Two lovers find room in back seats
Car boots, and door steps
Two lovers find the night far too short
Where have you been, love?
I’ve been looking around
I’ve seen your last tracks
But never you’re found
I’ve asked friends and family
I’ve asked brothers and sisters
I’ve asked teachers and doctors
I’ve asked long lost lovers
Where have you been, love?
I’ve been looking around
I have memories to build here
With empty spaces to fill
Has society always been this hurt?
Everywhere I look there are lost lovers
Fragmented dreams
And lost memories swimming somewhere in between
Maybe we should be free
Love everything with adolescent joy
Scrambling over fences to find whats behind
Scraping our knees into time
If then we should see
With eyes larger than experience
How then would we transform?
I walk, and everything goes through my heart
Lost lovers and lost sinners
Remind me of death
Accept it and rage it
Decide to eat it alive
It’ll set you not forward
If you take it to heart
It’ll teach you to crawl
If understand it you try
Wail out a beat given lonely
Narrate a poem long and comely
Never sit down in style
With past; long, gone, and well
