Eclipse

By Nova   

[Verse]
I think I forgot the shape of your face
the sound of your voice
has been slipping away.

We haven't talked for far too long.
But the worst of it is
I felt no wrong.

[Pre-Chorus]
How have I become so complacent now?
that no alarms or sirens
even bothered to sound?

How am I only realizing now
That you are nowhere
to be found?

[Chorus]
How could you so easily
Slip through my fingers?
I call you my everything,
Fall asleep anyway.
Lies on my lips.

Will the moon go peacefully,
Or lazily linger?
I miss you with apathy
Still in your gravity
Light's gone, eclipsed again.

[Verse]
Reaching for you like a habit of old.
Finding there's nothing
to grab or to hold

Frantically searching the cavity's cold.
Pretending I care,
and don't already know.

[Bridge]
I took you for granted
And you took your leave.
Accidently supplanted,
Unintentional thief.

I've left me here stranded
In unmoving seas.
From reckless abandon
To loss without grief.

[Chorus]
How could you so easily
Slip through my fingers?
I call you my everything,
Fall asleep anyway.
Lies on my lips.

Will the moon go peacefully,
Or lazily linger?
I miss you with apathy
Still in your gravity
Light's gone, eclipsed again.

This Poems Story

This one tells a story of a loss of self. A side of yourself that was once nurtured and important, but slowly faded away with comfort and lack of effort. A loss of Joy, Passion, and Innocence.
