MESMERE: Music

CLASP

It’s a warm body in the bed
Hands over our mouths
Fist clenched tight
To hold it in

I held on with every memory I had
But how can you fight
A well-worn coat of regret?

The house is painted blue
And shadows finely drawn
We live here still
Reason forgotten

I’ll stay on my side
And you on yours
You’ve got your God
I’ve got my garden

Over and over again

Her room is on the left
And left in repose
Hands over our eyes
I can see her still

We sleep in one facade
We speak to conceal
That I’ve got her handprint
You her curls

Tell me
Do you have this ache?
It starts from back here
That comes from thinking
Over and over again

What’s next
What’s next now

Over and over again
