Edward is a Mad House and a Monster of a Lover

Edward is a mad house 
And a monster of a lover.

The past is a grotesque animal
But you are not 

Blue, gray or any other shade.
In the depth of the blossoming 

Shadows, the lover of wild things
The cry against obscurity.

He is the name on my breath
After too many vodka shots

After the red sunset has died
And my heart has given itself

To beat warmer. To cool again
The up, the down, the winding 

Even as I - with no lover 
Decide to kill the morning.
