why call to me again? wake me from my slumber I was dreaming of you though I shouldn’t when the other option is nightmares of death I’d rather you steal by though I shouldn’t I’m told to hate you and not to forgive then I’d let you win though I shouldn’t I want to forget us to sleep without fear of my memories waking though I shouldn’t
with your ugly vanity admirer of no heart unusual, you say but my belief is seldom accostomed to pity your ghosts haunt me but follow you to the bus books fall open by them useless with knowledge rusting your truths arrows will slay Cupid pathetic spectre fades you love your jealousy guarded righteousness please don’t lie to me your bare cruelty fails burned by your mirror call me your other name I will not answer again fallen from your pride
scratch my tongue and hear my song fall beside me with your laughing eyes there’s spaces in my head you can’t fill not even your ghosts can find the corners please play a part in my love forever my life follows after the shadowing sun like a flower blooming ever outwards I climb landscapes of words and music tangling myself into what you used to be lost forever is the conviction of time your name is pounding through my ears…
concrete heart with these stolen shoes something I forgot to say a modern mess of truth just dying to believe in wooden gods that crucify hang me from your tree so turn me away I’m still made of stone like the gods you’ve denied could you still love me though I am cold and gray I could be your gravestone will you lay under me?
author of music and minstrel of words insufficient love with which to woo to which paper saint will you pray? grand adventure stole you from me though you will not be my gravest sin confession stays silent before you I’m too convoluted, it’s too thick choking on the words I’ll never say wait, I’ll touch you in a moment unless your courage bests me first your fairest dream became my enemy when eyes opened to faith decayed
someone see the light behind these lies when your effort is not worth my time your skin is moonlight and sun your crown touch me not for I am merely divine nothing to stand in your perceived valor my temple was defiled by the paladin sacrificed at my own altar for beauty could knighted prince save fallen god with her chosen desecration of truth tongue cut out to fill the peace stars blind from night’s filmy vision the king stares…
uneven clots of sin my dearest body you hurt like blood flowing down thighs crimson on the snow but no princess here emotion’s victim I cry out to you words we don’t know can you climb my tower? penetrate the stone is it still winter?
a thousand shattered mirrors surrounding you in my lies white and pale with shallow tears sand that trickles through time’s cruel mistress dines my heart is tonight’s menu her vanity reflected in a piece the black magic of saucer and tea lights one by one flickered flame burning ash falls on my tongue spit it out and scatter round reflecting my imagined lines
I suspect I fear the ocean funny that I’ve never been that deep green is too much the sea is wide like your eyes your name drips down my leg imagine your salt on my tongue fish lips touch in wet embrace cold desire from scaly hearts slippery and fresh, no escape not forgotten is the shore, but casting my net across these waves you shall be eaten if caught
it’s funny, I would be your prince but you always play the knight and yet you’ll take no princess my heart the dragon you slay what good is a dead drake? virgin maid to capture unicorns I will be none, nor can I I am manticore with borrowed face cockatrice in gardens of stone so monstrous am I for loving you ignorance be the shield which saves
