'Sunlight Abstractions II' - Alison Jardine

Must I compete with a ghost?

I felt as if we had become so close,

But you invert and fold your coast,

When I ask you who do you love the most?

You once said to me only love has no ends,

And on this belief your heart depends,

You'll sooner forgive foe than friend,

But with this sundered lover you'll never make amends,

I was discarded like steam from a train,

I thought you were crying but it was just the rain,

Tears of my own I must refrain,

For every drop I would lose you again,

I clung to an horizon on a cloudless day,

I combed the night for stars to wish my doubts away,

With empty words you've led me astray,

And I'm not sure if you love me or you didn't know what else to say,
