I'd Rather Not Say

You were my mortality In your absence what is left to fear The remedy to my muted mind To be blind is to see after all this time Stuck in a stasis Stagnant Moments and words compound into days Days turn to years and here I stayed I like it here everything has its place Everything has its place but us What is there left to feel once you've sank into the depths of love Blessed by the touch of the girl with the gift of Midas Witness to her grace as she creates and kills all she passes Fingers fractured by touch Skin embraced becomes corrupt Don't you have anything to say for yourself Don't you have anything left to say Like how I shouldn't blame myself Regardless of how many years too late it is for that to help A single second of clarity How should I survive my darkest days Without you to show me the way Show me the way Show me Show me the way Show me the way Without direction and in dismay go I cannot be the one that you need And this phase of failure is sure to claim All of the good things that we ever made And once your voice is gone, You'll just be a face, you'll just be a name I know you only ever wanted what was best for me And if intentions were actions we wouldn't speak And if shame could be measured this would take all day All for a few words I'd rather not say
