cold, dark night

spinning out of control causing destruction
defenses tangle thoughts, a web of confusion
palms certainly read this faulty seduction.
unfortunate hearts forced into silent seclusion

city limits have locked memories out of touch.
naked, lost in a moment of the wildest passion.
patient flesh craves your fingertips too much
loveless abuse has always been my fashion.

like this dark, cold night I will continue falling
tripped up by your promise under shooting stars,
delusions of your heartache now silently calling.
sour hopes, scraped knees, bruises and scars.

there has been no truth found in simple wishes.
small bones still aching with burning hot desire.
longing to feel the warmth of fabled fairytale kisses.
sweet flesh now burned and left, ashes in a cold fire.

our truth: we will never know

Old saline rivers of lost love have been damned.
Confusion still arrested in time………….
……….................………….…..but I'll take my bow.
Curtain will always fall on a frequency jammed.

Picking apart the stitches that held us together,
…consistent silence, permanent silence…
……………..deafening silence………….
I'll just let them unravel into whatever….

Choke on your unsaid words…..
Lord knows they devoured me.
