Mercury

The dull light lingers

The candle flickers

Beside you in the red

The beat of nameless songs

The pulsing flame goes on

I try to hear

But I am not there

I saw you for the first time today

With nothing left in the way

I've never felt this way before

I fear I'll never feel this way again

What do you need to feel from me

Take what you want

What do you see?

On the ocean and beyond

Amidst the others

I'm waiting impatient

An echoed existence

The dull light lingers

The candle flickers

Beside you in the red

The beat of nameless songs

The pulsing flame goes on

I try to hear

But I am not there

The faces unfamiliar

I've never felt so close

A flickered little moment that goes on

That leaves me so sore
