I’m tired of my rusted smile,
of my hand slipping from the grasp of reality.
what have we done?
our prize is the embrace of apathy
on wings made of rose petals.
How does it feel to mean so few words you speak?
They are like carbon dioxide,
Too heavy to breathe.
can you hear the lullaby I weave?
I’ve sung it to you so many times now,
but maybe that was just a dream.
Here I am,
hand in hand with sincerity,
Alone with myself,
praying for something lost in heaven,
Wondering once more,
can you hear me today?
with my voice to the moonless wind,
can you hear me today?
I can't see you anymore,
in the algae filtered light.
the dimmed blackness is perfect for false feelings,
yet this too will fade,
on wings made of rose petals,
perhaps they will wilt in the ocean filtered sun,
and fall to dusk,
as nature intended.
I can't speak for you,
I can't speak at all it seems,
will I continue on my path,
scattered with mute pearls,
each reflecting a grain of the past,
maybe they were all just dreams.
will this end?
can I allow myself to heal?
these tears which have fallen at your feet,
no greater joy can be lost than with you it seems.
before dusk blooms to blue in this sea,
fly away now,
quickly,
or you will drown.
my eyes,
glazed over with all the chaotic obscurity,
that you never understood.
my heart,
no longer beating in tune with our plastic feelings.
maybe it never did,
maybe that was just a dream as well.
the sun is finally setting.
on wings made of rose petals,
fly away from me,
wilt in the ocean sunlight,
and fall to dusk,
just as our hearts intended.
