Gone

Don’t look for me, I wouldn’t be found
Signals are broken; the future is blind
I’m randomly scattered, near and far,
I give up my mantle of a guiding star

No directions through chaos; it’s late
To start tomorrow from a clean slate
I lack any patience required for two
Reflections absorb my favorite hue

Let go of a beautiful bubble of hope
Illusions won’t lighten a way to cope
Let the play exhaust its usual charm
I give up on shielding you from the harm

Hold on to my scepter; never my hand
At a lonely crossroads of our end
I bore your weight as far as I dared
You deserve someone who’d truly care

Even my diary won’t show your face
My silent dinners without grace
Quiet as only midnight can achieve
You owe me this unconditional peace

Don’t wait for me, I’m forever gone
Abandoned highways loathe the dawn
Our history won’t be doomed to repeat
Unless you substitute love for deceit
