Anna Thomas
my love for you is in persistent retrograde
the candle is being lit – the wick won’t ignite
the river is flowing yet never forms a cascade
removing the mask – never revealing the masquerade
the key is in the door – the lock is still tight
my love for you is in persistent retrograde
stepping out into the sun – still in the shade
the moon comes out – the sky isn’t bright
the river is flowing yet never forms a cascade
erasing the words – the lines never fade
the stars shine – the day still isn’t night
my love for you is in persistent retrograde
getting off the path – somehow never strayed
turning left – still heading right
the river is flowing yet never forms a cascade
fighting for your love to find out it was a game of charade
looking forward but keep on losing sight
my love for you is in persistent retrograde
the river is flowing yet never forms a cascade
