I was all alone

We were young

You were like wine

Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside

Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows

Opiate as the cold of

The frost on the windows

Lo the rose has gone from my eyes

So deceiving

So my little dove

I'm afraid I am leaving

Now I am not the fool

I was when I was younger

Crocodile eyes

I have seen how you hunger

Fluttering your lashes like ashes and embers

Warm and bright as fire devouring timber

No I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving

So my love

I'm sorry but still

I am leaving

Even when you hunt me with ire

Relentless

Batter down my door when you find me

Defenseless

I will not abide all your raging and reaving

I have set my mind and my will

I am leaving
