forest turned to desert
affection tainted by hurt
stemming the flow of our words
channels of romance divert
the bedrock started to crack
groundwater coloured black
i've forgotten your touch, amnesiac
we're near the point of no turning back
and then i cry into your soulless eyes
they glow again like you're baptised
our shrivelled, withered love revives
refills the lake of your mind
but you turned to leave
now that’s a problem for me
i have only one soul, you see
my shell is now empty
