Venus Loves

This is my Achilles heel The damage bound as best I could This is where the crack splits The rip fits The embers flame The rivers flow Why should I care if I’m feeling quite alone? Perfect freedom I topple off the edge too easily How can it be that I am you and you are me? Counting the hours and seconds A game for fools The package we made Sewing up the stitches you pulled Mending the torn apart holes Which were starting to sag and fray I pack my bags like I’ve become accustomed to Ingrained in my soul Searching far and wide In this canyon inside A death, a death too many to tell This bruise on my hand fading The landscape constantly changing Goalposts reaching never returning To the places that made me Echo’s in the distance Of a life that time forgot Toxins and disease fill my body Whenever you are near Walking barefoot on broken glass So we can be as one This doesn’t feel like home Only a place I anticipate Bargain with No happy ever after here my friend
