Shade of the Sun

The shade of the sun does not belong where the nights miss love

Robbing hearts spilling invisible tears all over the sheets in the dark

And the days only grow stark weeds that breed such bitterness

Where time bends men over with only the taste of lifes dust in their veins

The granite hearts shatter with ease upon this feather filled anvil

As shackled faces continue to swim in this empty well
