Fireworks

What am I doing here
Watching your firework eyes
Light up another's land
Dimming a part of my small country
What I am doing here
Is pulling our shared net of fate
Out from the dreaming sea
Exposing the bright-eyed catch to the empty

We stay softly here
Imprisoned in each other
But we're already fading
Into our separate lives
Watching each other
Our bodies paralysed
An unspoken, unending mystery
Lighting the darkness around

See the silence, hear the hunger
Feel the fireworks
The past is a whirlwind cloud
Rising up into the sky

But as sure as we're apart
Our names have now been written down
In the immortal book of hearts
