more to lose

I was tired of thinking that
Our love can shine your thoughts
Of our arrangements
Were really not like mine

I thought it over
And it was plain to see the love you said
You once needed
Could just not come from me

And now it's over
Both of us free
But I feel colder

A thousand tortured lies have fallen
Wounded dying cut down by the
Questions that we've sharpened
Just to save our losing days

We've thought with nothing more to lose
We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths
And everything we'd clung too far, so long
Just slipped away

We used to cry
About the day when one of us might fall
Weak and blindly into another's arms
Demands of gain from jealousies
Would flow like water drowning us
But leaving us with just another
Lover's false alarm

And now it's over
Both of us free
And I feel colder

And now we're moving to new beginnings
But as we move we looked once behind
To see what we might find out
Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings
That lunge, tear and grasp
our lost wanting minds
