A Fire Of Bones

You dreamt it - and it all just spoke your language,

but the last few words were hidden - like a conversation broken.

You felt it - and it all was there, yet hurtful,

but the final touch was whispered - like the truth was never spoken.

She fell into the conversation, she was the one who got away

the one you will love forever, the one you will love for a day.

You knew it - and it all seemed to be certain,

but the evening rain was quiet - like it wanted to be heard.

You saw it - and it all had its own shadow,

but the choir made it joyful - like the taste of every word.

You said it - and it all was second nature,

but the moment faded swiftly - like it was not really there.

You heard it -  and it dove into the water,

but this time it told a story - like a love that has no fear.

She will always be a stranger, she will always dance alone

you know that we are watching you, dance around the fire of bones.
