Chasing The Moving Train by Nobody: 10:38am On Nov 22, 2012
Am confused
Did I just say I love you?
Maybe in my heart I really do
Am captured by your pretty smile
Oh that look you gave the camera
Hmm this feeling is strange

Am strong
But why does my heart swivel if you speak
My lips seal
No trace they once weren't whole

Do I want to be free?
Can I stop dancing to the music that calls me?
It wants me to come to your river of love
And drown

Time is running out
My candle is burning the table
This time I walk but am asleep
Hoping to see you again in my dreams

But why aren't you frowning
Aren't you angry?
Please stop smiling
Its making me feel guilty

I kiss upon your pink lips this day
But you don't close your eyes
Be what you were for a while
And not just this photograph

I wish I could shorten the length my hand went
When we fight
Or cover the scars
The memories of that my inner me being bad

I might die
My lungs could fall off
Where is that rib that held it in place
Please come back

Remember our castle
That one we built and has one room
To rip out hearts
And hide it in its treasure chest
We didn't die
Love kept us going

I really do miss you
My shadow can't get used to standing alone

I ruined it all, I know
Burnt the castle
And put you on a moving train
And now am running after it
