Writing is my antidote but it's also my poison

--------------

I wonder if I returned there
Where the road met the sky
So that cloud and fog and rain and earth collide
Woven together in perfect harmony,
Where the body and the soul are one and the same
Would it still be the place I saw,
With you close by?
Dreaming of the edge of a cliff,
Doesn't take me back there the same way
As dreaming of you did
But still I feel the rush of the wind in my hair,
As I flew down interstate by interstate
And looked to see you, laying there
Sound asleep.
Did I ever deserve such a moment's reprieve?
Or was it my curse to be with you there,
For only a moment it was
And I still have a lifetime to be spent.
That I should regret the rest of my days
Because I knew what heaven and bliss was for a glimpse of time
Then watched it float away.
