Untitled

I came sliding down the right pathway
I was shining like a migraine headache
I came calling with my voice newly polished
My throat was reflecting things you had left in the air
And I could taste the air, it was hot in my lungs
It was strange to be in there without you
Light from the window burns my eyes
And that tells me something about you

I sold my soul to the man down the hallway
And I crept lightly into the next room
What was left of your heartbeat burned so brightly
I could feel the light inside, I tightened up inside
When I was in the places you had been in I could hear water
Like I remembered hearing water around you
It came clear in my mind the way the building was set up
And that tells me something about you

The traces you left gave off a weird sequence of lines
And I marked everything in the building with a mark that only I could recognize
And the things in my memory lined up next to each other and they started to burn
And then the smell of your hair came alive within in me, I mean it came alive in me
When I saw you there something inside me changed
And that's the last time I'll ever doubt you
There were animal sounds ringing within the walls
And that tells me something about you
