Under Saturn

It amazes me how silent tears
can be left so utterly unvindicated
all I wanted was to shut the world out
God... all I wanted was you
but it's easy to see that you've moved on
only glancing back
when the guilt comes to tug at your mind
sometimes I wonder,
if I'd never told you how I felt
would you still be here?
in another world
would your heart be a little less... frozen?

"if the heartline stops cold under Saturn
you better run like hell girl"

never one to heed a good warning
I loved and I so ungracefully lost
there is no room in that mass of stone for me
so I made my suicide perfect
I sat beneath the stars
your knife in my hand
and swung with all of my might
the cords... oh how reluctantly they snapped
screaming into the darkness their outrage
they remain in spirit
but my body has drifted far from you
lost and wandering but away all the same

the heartline stops cold under Saturn.
