|
Deep in the scent of this muffled ditch |
|
I huddle beneath the coves |
|
In my sleep I writhe and pitch |
|
On your name |
|
I scratch the bones of our once love |
|
With sharpened rocks and sharper stones |
|
Watch as the marrow bubbles and spits |
|
Over a flame |
|
To untwist these vines that hold my heart |
|
Would mean to re-evolve the parts of |
|
You and me |
|
And her |
|
And what has set you free |
|
Your tempered smile and severed skin |
|
Are bleeding in my memory |
|
Searing marrow burns in the night |
|
As I beg to have you here with me |
|
I'm gaining weight and getting stoned |
|
But you my dear are all alone |
|
Beneath the soil |
|
Of this God |
|
Forsaken earth |
|
But who am I to disappear |
|
On account of all my shame and fear |
|
What good is that, what will it show |
|
To the tinkerers above |
|
These shackles on my shriveled wrists |
|
Are tight and tethered to your drift so |
|
Drift you off |
|
To hell and back |
|
And I will come along |
|
Tenderly please cut me free |
|
For I need not come along |
