your face by stars

you'll never see me again
not like you did
i've stepped out
and all that you knew
will never be the same

i've seen everything
and i've seen nothing
digging a hole to hide
your face
and washing your hands
of the dirt you dug
through

let the earth ungulf
your face
feel its pain and beauty
now go and grow
grow up from the bottom
until you're surrounded
by stars
the radiance fills up
your eyes
and as tears fall so do
the constellations

i'll catch them for you
and sprinkle them
over your bed
sleeping silent
sleep silence
and speak to me
through dreams and visions
and songs
i'll lay beside you
but only for a little while
for they'll never take
me alive
