Driving Through the Forest

There is no love

Left in my heart for the world of men

So I depart

For the undying lands

There is no love

Left in my heart for a mortal woman

I am a shell, a trail of smoke

An evaporation

I live my life

In twilight

Just grasping

And groping at the dark

But there's nothing to grab on to

Or grabbing back

I am driving through the forest

With no headlights

I don't know why I haven't crashed into a tree

I never hit the brakes

The hills just aren't that steep

I'm never going anywhere at a fatal speed

There is no love

Left in my heart for the world of men

So I depart

For the undying lands

So I set my sails

And float to my end

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow

I feel my fate in what I cannot fear

I learn by going where I have to go

I live in words that are not my own

It takes too long to finish

What needs to be done

I see my prize waiting for me

But I'm not sure I've won

I've wasted so much time

Defining what is mine

Nothing is Mine
