Defenses
communicated purpose sighs,
fated signs pressed in melted wax.
vandalized solution soon dies,
methodical confessions tax.
fated signs pressed in melted wax,
defending crumbled walls of need.
methodical confessions tax,
finding silence willing to bleed.
defending crumbled walls of need,
ambition grows an honest lie.
finding silence willing to bleed,
gather the memories passed by.
ambition grows an honest lie,
tomorrow's secret closely hold.
gather the memories passed by,
love only for a moment told.
tomorrow's secret closely hold,
drinking December's thawing ice.
love only for a moment told,
consumed by numbers on the dice.
drinking December's thawing ice,
choking on midnight's changing year.
consumed by numbers on the dice,
addictions negotiate fear.
