Broken Through to Silence
Why won’t you say something?
You’re the one I want
Yet time and distance keeps us apart
The fire of your smile captured me a long time ago
I will follow you to Marghdeen
Just to hear you sing
But don’t let the starlight fade
Won’t you say my name?
What can break the silence between our hearts
Where time and distance pulls us apart
One word
Only one
Will give us a start
Your words broke my walls of shame
You showed me your heart again
And again
This wasn’t a game
No whose playing who
We occupy the same place
Won’t you say my name?
I’m letting go for the first time
But i know it won’t be my last
Star gazing
Passion’s fading
And I’m afraid
Afraid of never feeling this again

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
