The ruin of your face

Pours down like lead tears

As you sit by my side

Confess to me your fears

Drink deep the wreck of me

My body is a funeral



I fail to find comfort

In your pale cold eyes

Worn loosely about me

You hang there dying off me

Deep in the misery

Of my long arms. Weeping

I cradle your tired head

This moment for the keeping



Her hand raised from the shadows in silence

Like a dying victim of a biblical plague

A strange mix of innocence and horror

Gushed from her red rimmed and swollen eyes

Resentment conquers sympathy and I turn my back

Her burning stare. Like minute blazing suns

Roars into the back of my head

And I simply move away



I will sing you this song of

All my pain. So listen

Great roaring. Tears pouring

Down unto me from my lover

The winter in your soul

Has frozen me forever.
