Darling, listen
To my strings humming...

I am a plague upon this planet
Yet still I rescue them from pain...

Where have the spirits gone?
I held them in my hands...

Leaves flicker bright, dark
Wind whisks sparking sunlight through...

We used to dream of battles won
Now truths slump heavy on our tongues...

Winter's fingers shine with blood
The droplets frozen hard...

I made a star for you
And I set it in the sky...

We left the earth in darkness
To explore the velvet sea...

Armed with all our pain and our misgivings
Love's found in the impermanence of living...

How many dead things do we bring to life
In the hopes they'll keep us safe at night...

In my bones I'll carve a tale of your sweet ichor
Who told you that desire could be tamed...

I slip out of myself
Each time I drop into the screen...
