Topaz eyes with rusty glass shards.
Razorblade's kiss left a trail of dark scars...

For Skyler.
The moon is a beacon...

A thickened forest to block the view
Shuttered windows let no light through...

Sunny hills with the sky turquois blue
Little black dress over pink high heeled shoes...

Today I kneeled beside your grave,
Closed my eyes and tried to pray...

I see the way you go and say you're right again.
All this time I've been trying to be your best...

The blue-grey sky sighs autumn to me
Inhale a deep breath, exhale serenity...

For Chris.
When everything was said and done...

Of all the things I've ever said to you
Every word was your own fire blazing clue...

Purple shadows grasp cold wrists, 
Silent whispers and bloodied fists...

Looking out through darkened eyes.
Sun getting low in the naked sky...

Shivering cold in my bare empty prison
Shaking and silent, abuse flooding my vision...
