Not that it’s important but sorrow leads to love
The road of darkness feels soft beneath our feet
Moths circle a dim light in my heart
Her lips are wet in anticipation
Hunger consumes our skinny soul
Legs no longer needed in this room
A tree with no bark in an evergreen forest
Our hands are one for only a second
Eyes of tropical ocean green can see nothing at all
A smile on a dead face is still a smile
Liquid will fall and ease our pain
Christmas lights are up all year long
A warm summer breeze drifts across a frozen lake
Death looms over our broken lives
The sheets are clean
A lie is the truth until it’s called upon
Our homes are not on fire
Teeth chatter in warmth
Under the soil is safe and warm
Hinder us in our hour of need
Rinse away the crimson on your hands
Finding a penny is unlucky enough
The chip on our shoulder is sarcastic
Only the toes will survive
Naked is only a state of confusion
Our virginity was found
Never bury the hatchet
A heavy heart is light in her hands
Our response is likewise
Faith is only a crutch for the strong
Closing arguments are only the beginning
Leave us to our selves
See you in the morning.
