Watching backwards as life like pictures Stinging thoughts, born with phantoms We danced above a world forgotten Moments cherished... even now A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales Singing from a gaping wound However time has left unsettled My memories play out of tune You can't unmake A cold mistake You can't undo The hearts you break You can't erase The poet's fate Not even if you try And she had Audrey Hepburn's smile With deeper sadder eyes The only thing she said No one hears Cassandra cry Because the earth is standing still And the truth becomes a lie A choice profound is bittersweet No one hears Cassandra cry A heartfelt sorrow I believe Offered this for passion's crime A crippled satellite trapped in orbit My memories play out of time You can't unmake A cold mistake You can't undo The hearts you break You can't erase The poet's fate Not even if you try... The listless price of my descension Where emptiness has pulled me down Cascading from my divagation Below the frozen winter skies Pythonic sadness unreleased As serpents rigid in cold Waiting for the warmth of Sunday Before the cruelty of growing old Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening now? Like Orpheus with hope entangled Your path was mapped about your feet Leading backwards into forgiveness Or forward to a fools retreat
