Elephants and Wine

He's leaving again
No more strength to be sane
Driving away to his quiet place
Endless ocean, crashing waves
He chugs down alcohol
but it doesn't kill the pain

My paper planes have flown away
My tree was found and hidden again,
Eaten again, by the world's system of
The Right and The Wrong
The Weak and The Strong

Battle of infinity
Forgiveness with animosity
Silence with fluidity
Love with stupidity

Funny it seems so cold even in summer
Funny stories don't seem old even rehearsed everyday
God listens with an invisible presence
Vermillion smoke smogs His essence

Her missing places
His empty spaces
Their accusive cases
Our happy faces

She left in the rain
No more strength to be sane
Driving away to her quiet place
City of lights, strange new names
She says she is strong
but still, it doesn't kill the pain
