Old Monster's Remorse

Psychosomatic memories
Sweating in Indian summer 
Burying bones wrapped in a golden locket
And the dirt does ruin its shine
Just as a heatwave burns autumnal beauty 

And it's so very shameful 
That I let my hate conquer you 
I wish I had the courage
To let my heart bleed with you

"and the dirt does ruin its shine Just as a heatwave burns autumnal beauty"..love those lines in particular..the last two lines break the heart...but they reveal a sweet vulnerability of truth. Always, Laura
