Have you no grey sky
To fall apart in?
To watch as the flowers bloom
Out of your hands?
Have you levitated off this Earth?
Have you left behind your mind?
Taunting in the dirt
Passing transgressions
These simple aggressions
For no cause
Pause to see
The palm of your hand is near
To the emptiness
Within you and me
Pull upon my heart
And rip apart the scars
So you and I
In time will both see
Lift you up
By pouring my soul
In to blackened canvases
That you will never know
A sacrifice to no one
And nothing et al
Bringing demise
To the innocence
Screaming out loud
And letting in air
That, "we need to feel
The bottom of our heads!"
I mistook you for death
But behind your eyes
Is a shadow
A shadow and a breath
The lingering time in our minds
As we walk through lines
That rarely reflect
What we are
The truth is not here
Never follow your heart
Despise what the words
Have stolen
Give us your fears
And pour them out
Drink them in
Drink it like wine
In our mouths
Drunk and unsober we watch
The lingering line of your heart
Breaking in two
Pieces
Hearing the words we yell out loud
To break upon the stones
That, "We hate our souls
We sold them for what we do not know!"
I have broken your heart too many times
Apologies are never fine
I never meant to cut you
I look in to your eyes and see
The passing memory
Floating slowly by
The moment we separated
Evaporated in to
Heaven below you
Give us our grace
Let us walk along you
And tell you our place
With or without you
Though we dwell in hell
We know God very well
We follow the truth
Blinding us is You
Shallow
And falsified lights
Claim to be the One and Only Light
As we walk
In time we know
That when we know
This will be done
How far must you go
Before you realize
The lie you told to no one
Is the lie you wear
Hidden in silence
Broken in violence
The trauma that you feel
Is traumatically real
