Clear Black

Melt into me
Give in and give up
Let your skin drape over my shoulders 
Shed the light on your insides 
 
feel deeper 
Hear farther 
Black hair growing 
Get out of your head 

A baby-faced killer 
Sold his kidneys for bread
Hunger is a loud beast 
Unforgiving and sweet 

Rest your heart on my chest 
Accepting is death 
You are no longer a shadow 
You are arriving 

Goodbye is illogical 
Leave them wondering 
Misunderstood even in dreams 
You’ve arrived
