Moondust

These countless desires
Worn with age, with time
Faded sepia, and the orchids
Petals drifting on the breeze

Memories, of something…
I’ve never felt before…
Of warmth of love, of an ocean shore

Hold me in your arms,
As we try and piece me together
Gather me up, and make me better
Tell me I’m beautiful, and make me forget…
Her…

She slips through the cracks
And old picture frames
I douse it in the gasoline…
And make a kindling of the fray

As the poison beings to seep
Within the cracks of my heart
And blackens the blood to acid

I choke back the feelings…
And hold tight to the nothing…
To the darkness, that has hidden me
So many times before…

But he pulls it away, and takes me by the hand
He bathes me in the moonlight, the stardust
The waves and the sand…
