spineless
We could lie beneath the stars and dream...
Dreams as big as the universe
But like a bomb
it would come undone
and tear at the worn fabric of my heart.
As a tattered book can no longer hold
the pages of it's mind...
There is no spine
to hold this love of mine.
The words to our story get lost...
Torn away by the trials of life.
You could fade into the weather
with nothing to hold us together
and I would be crushed
by the absence
of you.
