Coerce with me my downfall, beloved
Lay golden cloves upon my grave
I’ll constantly run to you, my beloved
Through the hollow hills and isolated caves
The hand that used to hold my pride
Has left me lone with guilt
The martyr which sits through my every night
Has taken me to paradise
As my wavering body looks upon you bare
The earth spins a little faster around its axis
The leaves you had once dropped upon me,
Never bid spring goodbye
The nickel that once graced our luck
slowly drowns in the rhine
You my pale shadow,
Conceal bright light, you need not speak
I seek mercy I seek redemption
But everyday poses a tainted question
Every eve a search for an answer,
Benumbed and disguised, I plot
I plot, my own demise
But darling, in between may I?
Dine with you?
And we'll watch the passing of time
Coerce with my downfall, beloved
Lay golden cloves, upon my grave
You my pale shadow,
Conceal bright lights, you need not speak
Benumbed and disguised,
I plot, my own demise
But darling, in between may I?
Dine
And we’ll watch
The passing of time

Far from the madding crowd
The weak morning sun
shone on your gentle brows
on your pale white skin
on your
Forever changing
Porcelain hull
I begged Charon
to take me with him
as Pluto’s fields recoiled
at the thought of our eternal Rapture
of your last breath
of my filthy tears of Joy
And So I stood here
Held fast against the increasingly madding crowd
Crushing purple petals
so they’d endow you with
Immortality
Forever tied to me
until I myself drank from the Hooves
that the Greeks feared so
I couldn’t bear the thought of one day
Seeing you leave me on my own
And how it thickens when it hits the floor
Stricken by a loving thrust
of danger
Like whispered words of lust
from a stranger on the night train
On your way home
You’ve finally made it back to me
Sweet velvet to my eyes
And running along your copper stream
is the moonlight leaking through the blinds
And how I feel it rushing when it cracks your skull
Stricken by a loving thrust
of Anger
Estranged, starved for more
Lost for words
At the sight of seeing you go
And now you’ve finally made it back to me
Sweet velvet to my eyes
Running along your copper stream
Is the moonlight leaking through the blinds
There is a mountain big as life I wish to
Gently throw your feeble
Body From, a wail of shock fills the air so thick it
Echoes an eternal song
I’ll slide down that slope and wait for you
Down below
To sit beside you as the cold rushes down from a
Northern wind I’ll leave you
Warmheartedly Bruised
And in angst.
That chair which holds you poised I wish to
Jolt and kick from underneath your
Feeble body, shards of glass dissect your cranium and
Leave you bleeding so you can
Simply lay with me and stay away from the lobbies and the
Silk bedsheets,
Mine are poor and hang from my window frame to
Disguise your body and give us the
Privacy I’ve always sought after
It’s you I’ve always sought after
I can’t leave
No risk for you to potentially abandon me
Abandon me!
