Gulf

There is a gulf that I have opened into which all your trust in me fell
There is a gulf that you have opened, into which all my trust in you fell
For every crime that I'm blamed for every weakness in my bones
I don't blame you for any, but I don't care for your bones
For every death among the children, every day that I'm alone
I just want to ensure that you don't step into my home
I bring to you no autumn joy, the wind it whistles merrily
You bring to me no autumn joy, the wind it cuts and bites me deep
The leaves are crisp and brown and dry, oh winter, winter won't you come on me
The day has left me intensely annoyed, oh winter, winter won't you come on me
I'm not so fond of talking when I left town it was in the storm of an argument
We really should have talked it though, I did not want to have an argument
I was a glass-eyed boy and I had cracked the glaze on my doll of china
You were a weak willed debater, you have hurt me and you know
Amazingly the integrity remains intact, the doll still stands but somehow much finer
But I have perspective on the situation, I will not let this become a low
What I know about this feeling I knew before I met you. It's simply that our meeting has proven all of this to be true
What I know about this feeling I knew before I met you, but it is simply that your leaving has proven all this to be true
