The night got us both
Forlorn
And tattered
All layered
In the scattered thoughts
That maybe
We could have been better
We went willingly
Lawlessness
In our eyes
Or
Peacefulness
Pitched full speed
that calmed this heart
I've come to call
The engine
That kept driving
what I feel
For you
We never needed convincing
You could always make
Simple hard
And make a hard choice
Softer
Just by grazing it
To imbue it
With a spirit
You keep locked up
Safe from view
You led me into this, thank god
Worship
Is made for temples
And I visited yours often
Between the hours
Of witching
And wallowing
Hoping to touch
The goddess peeking
Behind those sheets
The night always ends though
And we spent the night talking
Like we were lovers
Long lost
Finally rekindling
A fire
Or so we thought
We were just losing each other
In each other's lives,
lieing to the gutter
that what we had
wasn't complete bullshit,
Im sifting a better life
out of this dust I collected
that fell from your coat,
i hung on every word spoken
every promise broken
every long drive traveled
and the tokens you left
because secretly
you don't want me to forget
what you're obviously unable
to remember,
dreambreaker,
have you forgotten our vows?
to let me sleep
without sound
and the memories
of what must remain
must always strain
to be disavowed
Ill sleep
when the Sun drips down on me
