the chainsaw song
Do you think anyone heard the sound of the chainsaw as it revved to life?
I am quite sure that no one did.
Because people don't seem able to hear the sound of a heart as it breaks
and shatters into uncountable, irretrievable pieces.
I wonder if maybe it is a quiet affair. That the pain is such that there is no sound.
Honestly I think that that absolute silence of a breaking heart is frightfully scary.
Think about it,
Nuclear bombs go off with a big bang and leave cities leveled while
Bio-engineered gas can wipe out an entire country, silent as death.
The damage inflicted is inversely proportional to sound;
Plus what is it they say about empty barrels and loud noise?
So no. No one heard the sound of the chainsaw.
Or the silent cries of protest of the earth
As that lone sycamore tree..
Where once we carved our names and professed our undying love
Or the silent cries of protest of the earth
As that lone sycamore tree..
Where once we carved our names and professed our undying love
Where we exchanged stories about dreams that no one else knew
Where you taught me to read the stars and constellations
Where you laid your head on my lap and slept
Where I realized that you were a part of me I couldn't live without
Where you told me you had to leave to chase those dreams of yours
Where I offered to go with you
Where you told me you didn't want me to
Where you left me, on the same ground where I let you make me yours
.. Was felled and gone forever.
Our silence gave way to the song of the chainsaw
Our silence gave way to the song of the chainsaw
And no one knew.
And you had left so there was no one to tell them.
And I was gone so i couldn't ask you to.
And we were no more so they couldn't remember that we had ever been.
Not the tree.
Not you.
Not me.
