Unchangeable

Folder: 
2016

At sunrise I watched you leaning

against the west side of the hill

Just as lost as I am

 

We’re unchangeable,

scared half to death

by things we can’t understand

 

And my feet still pound

against black and white pavements

that bury the yesterdays we left behind

 

But at sunrise I saw you

staring at the moon

hoping this world stays unchangeable

 

It was so long ago,

it’s tomorrow and forever

and the echoes in between

 

We’re unchangeable,

running backwards

smoky ashes rekindled again and again

 

I won’t ever burn for you

like the waves on the shore

but I’ll watch that sunrise too

 

I’m the one you

won’t ever love

and can’t ever lose
