Here I lie
Waiting for you to open your eyes
Do you see me?
I could be invisible
Lying next to you makes me doubt my existence.
I have buried the ghost
but once it hears my longing
it will travel through the earth back to my heart
I once opened a door to watch the maple leaves fall on the floor
But as I walked my empty self to the graveyard
the snow had covered the leaves
White is for healing
Here I lie
Waiting for you to open your eyes
And when you did
I didn't see you any more
you are invisible
we are invisible.
Our existence is like the ghost
Like maple leaves buried under the snow.
Waiting for you to open your eyes
Do you see me?
I could be invisible
Lying next to you makes me doubt my existence.
I have buried the ghost
but once it hears my longing
it will travel through the earth back to my heart
I once opened a door to watch the maple leaves fall on the floor
But as I walked my empty self to the graveyard
the snow had covered the leaves
White is for healing
Here I lie
Waiting for you to open your eyes
And when you did
I didn't see you any more
you are invisible
we are invisible.
Our existence is like the ghost
Like maple leaves buried under the snow.
Very nice. Last stanza is particularly affecting.
