Song for a love unlived

Your absence in my heart is a razorblade
'Tis the sharpest knife that was ever made
Your face does all but fade out
Sweet reveries by day, dark nightmares at night
Our love is endless as time
Though still it passes me by

I'm haunted by things you've said you've done
And all I wish is for these dreams to be gone
I say to myself that there's naught to be done
If we're to be two, and ne'er be one
Our love is endless as time
Though still it passes me by

Remembering your thighs tight around my waist
Preventing my life from going to waste
I think of your lips and your gaze from afar
And it hurts to remember how far you now are
Our love is endless as time
Though still it passes me by

With you I can do anything in this world
And write the best tragedy that's ever told
Without you my pretentious life's not for long
So all I can do now is sing this blue song
Our love is endless as time
Though still it passes me by

Also sprach Zarathustra: Through their Love they saw the mystery of the world's equilibrium, and that they themselves were a symbol and expression of this balance. Two triangles united in them into a six-pointed star. Two magnets melted into an ellipsis. They were two. The third was the Unknown Future. The three made One.
I saw the woman looking out upon the world as though enraptured with its beauty. And from the tree on which ripened golden fruit I saw a serpent creep. It whispered in the woman's ear, and I saw her listening, smiling at first suspiciously, then with curiosity which merged into joy. Then I saw her speak to the man. I noticed that he seemed to admire only her and smiled with an expression of joy and sympathy at all she told him.
"This picture you see, is a picture of temptation and fall", said the Voice. "What constitutes the Fall? Do you understand its nature?"
"Life is so good", I said, "and the world so beautiful, and this man and woman wanted to believe in the reality of the world and of themselves. They wanted to forget service and take from the world what it can give. So they made a distinction between themselves and the world. They said, 'We are here, the world is there'. And the world separated from them and became hostile."
"Yes", said the Voice, "this is true. The everlasting mistake with men is that they see the fall in love. But Love is not a fall, it is a soaring above an abyss. And the higher the flight, the more beautiful and alluring appears the earth. But that wisdom, which crawls on earth, advises belief in the earth and in the present. This is the Temptation. And the man and woman yielded to it. They dropped from the eternal realms and submitted to time and death. The balance was disturbed. The fairyland was closed upon them. The elves, undines, sylphs and gnomes became invisible."
