This is to the

this is to the
intertwined souls,
the hands i've been trying to hold.

this is to the
love that i lost
and all the troubling thoughts
of how i got double crossed.

this is to the
divorce i was forced to settle with
and the remorse I fought with metal fists

this is to the
wet watery kiss I left you with
on your porch as I watched your trembling lips

so I mosey down the road
thinkin' bout the old
I used to roam this zone
through two feet of snow

Right here, this used to be a record shop
I've gotten love, I've gotten drunk,
I've gotten beat up in that parking lot

I've been walking these streets for three decades
These alleyways, and these streetlights have seen my best days

Before I was a germ
learnin how to misbehave,
All the way to the grave,
South side is my resting place

i took a walk down high street
i'm getting near
the road became empty
the people disappeared

the clouds ran away
opened up the sky
and one by one i watched
every constellation die

and there i stood frozen
standing in my backyard
face to face, eye to eye
staring at the last star

I should've known
walked all the away home
to find that you weren't here
I was still all alone.
