Vertigo or Pleasure

I wish for a house beside the sea
That takes the time
To reflect the sky
Even when
We're close enough to touch
I can't feel you

I'll take some time
In your company
We've reached an impasse

You dream of snow capped mountain peaks
An empty nest
That never needs to think
Even when I rest on your shoulder
I can't feel you

So I'll take some time
In your company
I hope that I think of you how you think of me

You have nothing to share on this coldest of nights
I have nothing I'd give without a fight
In the heart of this house I lay down my mind
Stained glass remembers more secretive times
Frozen Ariel and his acrimonious queen
Perished together on opposite streets
Don't bother finding me

Heavy-handed words and platitudes
Skipping stones and empty gratitude
Take a swim in poisoned harbours and
Never mind the mercury

Take what you can
When I'm near
We've reached an impasse
