Kicking Up The Dust

About being in love and all of the damage it brings

I'm not in love
I'm too long in the tooth to believe
We blossomed and withered in the frost
We tried to endure
Regardless of the cost

Drifting on by
I'm lost in the brightness of the lights
We cooled from each other and detached
We slipping from the daylight
We're slipping through the cracks

Kicking up the dust
And we'll sleep in the silence
It's washing over us, and we'll weep
Losing all of our trust
We'll stay in the sorrows that envelop
And we'll lose ourselves to sleep

I'm all alone now
but happy to endure the shadows
We bloomed and faded at the end
When the director yells 'cut!'
We no longer have to pretend

Sailing on past
The reality begins to crash
We're no longer happy or safe
I belong to no one's heart
I reside in no happy place

Kicking up the dust
And we'll sleep in the silence
It's washing over us, and we'll weep
Losing all of our trust
We'll stay in the sorrows that envelop
And we'll lose ourselves to sleep

My favorite lines!

Jay, this is touching! I can totally relate to this piece. Simply tragic yet beautiful!
Here's to sorrow and slumber! :)

Dust is just dust. There's no gold on these shores.
