A Darker Colder Sun
You filled my heart's chalice with passion's pain
from poison kettles stirred in your mind
Your wormwood brew drips a bile that will stain
as it spills on the earthen floor of time
Slip away with your dung lit real of shade
seek a newer chalice, your lips can fill
barter their heart with your cold lover's trade
in worlds that lie beyond the farthest hill
where each love will be lost forevermore
to drift towards a darker, colder sun
leave me now, like the shadow I abhor
You used my heart's love, and pain has begun
For my heart will lie with its final breath
Befitting dear, you have seen my heart's death
