Without a word
Without even a trace
Something vanished from the house of my mind
Leaving me abandoned
And free
I've been struggling to find out
If it was you
If it was your shadow, your memory
But I never did
So one day
When my shoes were long gone
I left this house
I left its door open
And under the grey, crooked trees
I limped with joy
I licked a grey sun
Its crumbs cut my fingers
My tears did taste like coal
But they were empty
Because I couldn’t understand what sadness was
I gazed at the sky like a forgetful child
As I was unable to process
The movement of the constellations
Like shiny animals
Eager to lick my hands
Eager to feed from my open chest
Without even a trace
Something vanished from the house of my mind
Leaving me abandoned
And free
I've been struggling to find out
If it was you
If it was your shadow, your memory
But I never did
So one day
When my shoes were long gone
I left this house
I left its door open
And under the grey, crooked trees
I limped with joy
I licked a grey sun
Its crumbs cut my fingers
My tears did taste like coal
But they were empty
Because I couldn’t understand what sadness was
I gazed at the sky like a forgetful child
As I was unable to process
The movement of the constellations
Like shiny animals
Eager to lick my hands
Eager to feed from my open chest
