Mount Eerie, Julie Doiron - Love Without Possession lyrics

What would be the use in becoming
A symbol of walking desolation?
Awash in multiple griefs
Elaborating on anguish what glows beneath?
(Beneath all the pain and anguish)
Love that doesn’t die (Magma embroidering)
"Love, " a small word unable to hold
While we stretch at it's meaning

Now this:
What’s this new version of love that intrudes
Into the peace I thought I had?
This love has no recipient
But still lies there smoldering
Indifferent stars in the night sky
Watch me while I churn
Still holding this love for you
Without a thing to do but try to live
In this uninvited liberation
Without a home in your life or heart
Without a shelter at all
Exposed and burning still
This unattended fire
For no one emanates a wasted
Warmth on the wind pushing against the edges
Of what it means to give
Lost wisdom in sparks that rise and die

Even if I never get to see you again
I’ll know that when we collided
We both broke each other open
Rose petals were blustering
And I’m determined still to
Hold this open door
Even now as it devastates
I wake up gasping in the void again

Speak sky, blow breaths exhale to dissipate
The always gathering clouds
Of yearning memory of all that we foresaw
Laid out before us, unlived

Dropped from a height
Back into the open ocean, it’s all horizon
This sky mirroring emptiness
Is where I first found you
