Another nail in the coffin
Another star in the sky...

With barely a motion, his voice reaches into her...
And extracts the remnants of her broken heart...

A black rose strown across your
Blood stained Sunday's best...

The light exposes your eyes
As everything else, they turn black...

Do you see what's become of me?
Our love laced together of smoke...

Greeting cards scattering the ground
Fake roses drenched in rain...

Lying in Pacific skin
Your heartbeat lost in waves...

I remember how we met
So very long ago...

As sunsets started pink fires
Along the jagged horizon...

The eyes that grip a heart in solitude
The topaz that bleed saline...

A kiss on the forehead
And fall you into sleep...

I am from the sun
That took six hours to rise...
