Revision 2:
Reflecting on Lost Love
There was no right of appeal
Your eyes stayed dead
Your mouth was a line
Underscoring those last words
You gripped my hand in yours
Eternity yawned in the pause
I pressed my face to the half-opened window
To suppress the falling tears
A memory that haunted me for years
The air was still, I remember
There was a hint of autumn's frost
I was lost
I could taste forever in that final kiss
I could taste forever in that final kiss
I was lost
There was a hint of autumn's frost
The air was still, I remember
A memory that haunted me for years
To suppress the falling tears
I pressed my face to the half-opened window
Eternity yawned in the pause
You gripped my hand in yours
Underscoring those last words
Your mouth was a line
Your eyes stayed dead
There was no right of appeal

Reflecting on Lost Love
I realised that we had run out of time
Your eyes were dead in your head
Your mouth was like a line
Underscoring the seriousness of it all
You avoided my eye
You gripped my hand in yours
There was an eternity in that pause
I pressed my face to the half-opened window
To suppress the falling tears
A memory that haunted me for years
The air was moist, I remember
There was a hint of autumn's frost
I was lost
I was unable to comprehend the forever of our last kiss
I never imagined that it would come to this
I never imagined that it would come to this
I was unable to comprehend the forever of our last kiss
I was lost
