Cosmic Whisper

I heard you whisper in my ear a thousand years ago
In a dream
Set in motion
All I had to do was find you

Felt a tugging at my core
And followed will and wind
Rode the spiral to the end
I was wrong again

With billions of galaxies beyond the milky way
How naive to think that my emotions are significant in any way
In the great expanses of space...
But I still can’t see your face.

We’re all so broken
But I’m not as broken as you
The pain is like an old familiar friend
A late-night bed guest
Coming around to climb inside from time to time

After a while, I miss his taste
I learn to like his
icy embrace
He feeds on my tears and
I feed on...
I feed on the rage

With billions of galaxies beyond the milky way
How naive to think that my emotions are significant in any way
In the great expanses of space...
But I still can’t see your face.

Seeking to find a soul similar to my own
Searching for mirrors
Always finding my shadow
No matter how many times I’m spurned
I refuse to build a wall

Red lights are flashing but I walk on through
Barriers are all around but I still go to you
The flag is waving, but I can’t see clearly
Strike me down and make me crumble
I still haven’t learned

With billions of galaxies beyond the milky way
How naive to think that my emotions are significant in any way
In the great expanses of space...
But I still can’t see your face.
