Pieces

I see her from the deep garden
And her hair is soaking wet
The bedroom light is flickering
To the pounding of your heartClose your eyes and count to ten
When they open you're asleep
Slow your breathing down to meet
All the shadows and the ghostsPieces of your heart collapse
To the sound of beating drums
You can't contain it anymore
So just let the madness comeThere's something in the way she moves
That just terrorizes you
You try to piece confusing clues
Together in your headI see you there, shining like a beacon
Fabric tears, my love burns for you
The end of me is in there with you right now
Car engine, still too hot to touchYou're married to her in your mind
And she loves you like a son
Yearning for a place in time
And a home to call your ownIt smashed into you hard enough
That you will not soon forget
He wants her like a sword and shield
And he wants her here and nowI see you there, you are my only empire
I call your name but it becomes the wind
A sudden lurch, a quickening of footfalls
A bible held above me like an axe
