Listen Sweetly
If I die,
You die with me.
There are no depths
There is no fear,
This meanness, this torture
Has no limit
Freedom sits staring at you
Only the mournful cry
Of you and I
These angels carry nothing
For over our shoulders
This mystic being
Claimed this feeling
And has dragged you away again
A casual glimmer
And nothing but a sparkle
Lessened this entanglement
Wrapped all about
Blanketed sins released
Like bats out of the cave and into the night
Mourn no more
Sweet tear in the sun
Life had a lesson
That besieged us both
And comforted us like babies under their wings
We fed on what they saw
A danger that I recall
Swarming out of the clear
In dream they had you in
Oh I listen no more for the tears I made you cry
Listen to me sweetly
Before I die
