I’ve grown accustomed to the quiet
That lie beyond my door
So it was all the more
Disquieting
When I heard voices from the floor
I know it hurts right now, love
But believe me when i say
That the cold that you are feeling
Will one day go away
And maybe it will come again
But this time you will feel
Like welcoming it instead
And that is when you'll heal
Can you stay with me
For a little while
Until i fall
Asleep?
The crow caws once.
A shiver down my spine
I wanted nothing more than to preserve what was mine.
The crow caws again.
Another eerie cry
I tried to fight fate, but you cant win with a lie.
The crow caws once more
A body in the ground
No headstone to mark, only soil in a mound.
The crow falls silent.
The empty only grows
The last attempt to hide my sins, causes them to show.
I knew i had to leave you
When sitting by your side
Began to feel painful
Instead of like home
Denouement
The untying of knots
Resolving the loose ends
Or cutting them off
The words rattle
In my mind
Like chains
But somehow
They are
Freeing.
They sing a
Silent song
To me
Like whispers in
The autumn
And they are
More beautiful
Than the words
Could ever say
You fell in love
With my black cherry lips
Without the knowledge
Of the pit within
She is like the ocean
Her waves as soft and calm
Brushing my ankles
Like kisses at dawn
She is like the ocean
The towering frozen sea
Where the waves as tall as mountains
Threaten to topple me
She is like the ocean
Dark, at times, but brave
Stronger than I ever was
And soothing through the days
If it takes me falling
For you to fly
Then I would plummet
A thousand miles
For you to soar
Again
The bloodiest hands
Are those of time.
As it passes
And the seasons change,
All things age
And die.
