Too far

I'm sorry that we didn't make it
We went too far
And I can't carry you home

I love your eyes
Your beautiful sad eyes
And I wish I could say it's all right

But I can't protect you
I can't give you a place where it's safe
No goal
No direction
No future
No hope
No meaning

The night comes after

You come as opaque darkness
Lacking shape and sound
Silently screaming without a word

Still your message clear and simple
not worthy
no good
no use

If I could shape you into something
Give you meaning
Or beauty

But you have your way
Coming as you please
and leaving no trace
