Only a Lack of Light
Well you painted lovely pictures,
And you placed me in every one.
Now roses and thorns grow in those fallen ruins
Covering the windows and barring each door.
Nothing ever was able to keep me here,
But still you tried and you did not relent.
So now I am chained and I am here without the light.
I told you I couldn’t take your pain away
So you tied me to it when you knew I would not wait.
In this enclosure you have kept control,
And I am slowly dying, losing sight.
I kneel to meet your blade,
And lust after the reflection of any light.
Loving every moment of my tears
You dove into the sound of my cries
And lost yourself in such pleasure there.
There are so many ways we need each other
No matter if you have bound me to the bed
And there is no respite.
Like fogging glass not from heat
But decomposition that screams of some violent end.
I wanted some peace of mind
And you wanted my desperate pleas.
