Her Scent
her scent
well it still
covers
me
how we lost
all we use
to be
was
all
up
to
me
looking back now
i still can't see
hindsight just an word
never meant nothing to me
that double negative
uses me positively
caught another on my mind water is boggle ing me
drown me here in this shallow pool of tears dust
remind me there is no future
without whom
you
trust
look for me
to be gone
search for my reasoning
no more
in the depths beyond the hollows
there we are called into submission
these fields we are surrounded by
what is this flesh to me
that i would seek to touch
what eyes have you plucked
what skull have you drilled
which lobotomy still mine
head holes drug from me
there is never silence
your golden calfing
of
look to me
what
listen as the door swings
listen again
as
the
door swings
never sound
of
the
door
it is movement that is adorned
another step closer to me
or step away from me
these are only words
what feelings have i
answer me
what feelings have i
what feelings have we
as more than i am
your face ing power
carries such resistance
only on the occasion
of
being awaken
with her on my mind
leave me here to sift these ashes through her candle wax
only dreams remain in streets to find an end to means
my words have led me down this path
my eyes have never directed me
what questions have i answered
what crime have we woven to
just another murder
just another body bag
just another murder just another body bag
just another lover that we never had
yeah see another button on you
good for you
clap clap clap
no.
really
good for you
clap clap clap
still i awake
my lips
tingle
ing
her scent
?
