Guilty of All Charges

We took the first train north
out of west Vancouver
Eyes wide lips cold
I wasn’t ready for October

I could feel your thoughts
through your fingertips
You could see my truth
through my cold breath

Between river stones
wind and sun piercing our bones
a non verbal seal was made
the sea promised it wouldn’t fade

Our bodies took the train
and ripped its crumbs of pain
but our souls were forever stained
with something impossible to restrain

The star crossed story of all time
The red mark I’ve had for life
A song that’s traveled for years gone by
Nothing has ever done us part

I keep finding you in this life and the next
in the shape of a light I’ll never forget
The beat of my rhythm and why I see the sky blue
I have decided to waste every life but on you

My heart’s not broken
though I can’t say it ain’t torn
It feels divided in pieces of a whole
They come back together when they remember what they hold
