How Big the Space

Silver star streams splinter down out of my head Cold and vast, I drift alone across our bed You won’t need to bring your car I burned all your clothes Looking up at a star Got pricked by a rose How big the space inside an empty heart How brave the face when orbits pull apart How big the space Dust and debris, broken worlds now ring my head Distant points of fading light, the things you said You won’t need to bring a box I threw out your discs I think that I’ll change the locks Why take the risk? How big the space inside an empty heart How brave the face when orbits pull apart How black the hole where universes fade How vast the bed where both of us once laid How big the space
