Blades Of Grass

Second star to the right
That's where you said you'd meet me
Operation Peter Pan
But I couldn't hold on
To what I could not plan
So the dream dissolved
Like a sugar high
Wet with sweat
And I evolved
Into something I could not accept
And as eyelids closed
To hide the shame
The hurt it ravaged
Until there was nothing left
I could recognize
The eyes were smeared
With caked on courage
Hiding the scars
While they tried to mend
But your impact was intense
Reigniting with just a spark
A wic and a candle who should have remained apart
Second star to the right
Straight on til Midnight
That's where I decided to leave you
Operation Peter Pan
Because I could not contain
What I could not have
So my hope ran dry
Like the water bleeding
And the ache receded
Til I awoke
Free of guilt
But flowers only blossom
So they can wilt
I forget the nutrients
And let time slowly pass
We were only
Blades of grass
