Sigh Infinity

Sigh (Infinity symbol) Your damage leaves a scent like the way gun powder smells I’m the only store where your hurtful ammunition sells I'm the ground that carries the weight of your bullet shells The fireworks fall and rest like confetti And I know you’ve shot someone already In the fields where our quenchable love comes first And the flowers ceaselessly bloom, then burst When the cravings of earth exhume your thirst How do we stay here in this hydrating state Of mind? How can we forever emancipate Our time? When my world casts me strange, Will you care that it’s clothes will change? When the night caressingly undresses space And the things that made us one tear apart, When you catch the dreams that you chase Through the endless corridors of your heart, Will you remember my phantasmal face? Or will you forget the words of my sighing art? When your facing the darkening mirrors of the estuary And your closest friends revolt the reign that you carry, When you become an adapting smolt And you struggle to swim in exult, Will you still keep the fear of death? Or will you leave it to your last breath? When there’s nothing left for my heart to conceal, Will you return to me, the life that you steal? Will you still be here in my need? When all I’ve got are troubles to bleed? When the sea pulls me from the deck And all I’ve got is a ship wreck, Will you pull me from the waves like the moon? Or will you slowly fade away like morning fades to noon? As you weave the woven waters of the ocean And everything is washed in the breath of the tide As you adapt to this chameleon society And every color you feel is hard to confide As you weightlessly wade your way Through calamitous days of time May the iridescent rays of your heart Forever reside in a love as boundless as the sky Through static and steam We shatter Through sleep and dream We scatter Through the infinite sighs… We breathe
