When your kiss lost its urgency
I could no longer lose myself
in your heat; once
I had been wax to that flame.
There was no momentous moment
to be marked when our
chemistry began to neutralize.
How odd we didn't know.
Embers cool while the
winds of everyday life
sweep away its ashes.
I believed you were everything,
but a retrospective view now allows
me to realize that I was naught.
"I had been wax to that flame"
ReplyDeleteThat line is great.
One of my favorite songs of all time is Modern English - Melt With You. First heard on the soundtrack to Valley Girl (1983)
Love the opening line.
Modern English.
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
Ill stop the world and melt with you
Youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time
Theres nothing you and I wont do
Ill stop the world and melt with you
(you should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(you should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(you should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(you should see why)
What Im comprehending a race that long gone bye
(Ill stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
(Ill stop the world) youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time
(lets stop the world) theres nothing you and I wont do
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
The futures open wide
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
(lets stop the world) Ive seen some changes but its getting better all the time
(lets stop the world) theres nothing you and I wont do
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
The futures open wide
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time (lets stop the world)
Theres nothing you and I wont do (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
the first 2 strophes drew me in and I love the turn at the end. I'm not sure about the belly of the poim. the picture is intense.
