oh dear love
let it rest easy for an eternity or so
and fly to me on sweetsoft dovewings instead
we aren't always meant to be the saviours in the dark
mm. always betraying my heart in whirlpool indescretions.
hush your harsh screaming, dear sweet litle ones.
i can't save you now.
what fate befalls us one befalls us all
mistress moon weeps sleek glass tears for you.
such desolate comfort against the stoniness of dawn..
oh, the crazed longing man that you are
what have you left me to this time
where was that reprieve you promised me...?
must've been sick that day..
or only blind to empty pockmarked promises.
your scent peels from my skin malicious leprous hate
drowning me in the face of faded truths.
what meaning have you to offer me
mixtures of dull eyes. paper roses. silent dreams.
sighs always seem to fly best with wind's encouraging heart.
