ode to the empty place we all carry around inside of us

every night you lie with me
looking at the sky
you tell me of the mysteries
hidden in the night

you say stars are only echoes
of fires from the past
a story of the sadness
of love that did not last
singing through the emptiness
with its final breath

these hands these eyes
search for something beautiful
this heart this mind
this longing unendurable
standing on the edge of eternity
all i want to feel is your hand in mine.

you say stars have found their resting place
in the light behind our eyes
they shine in every corner
of the empty place inside
we'll burn this place forever
with the love that could not die
