All I have are words to wipe the wakeful wounds away
All that comes are tears to keep them for another day
Love’s lachrymal layers that fuel the foliaceous fires
Ignominious increments of solitudes sufficely seclude
While drenching in dreams of the barbarous brood
Lamenting lucidly lost in dimly dismantled desires
Watched by the watchers of lasting lingering liars
A sacrificial sage of the slaved selfless subdued
Blindly bedraggled
Secretly sadly sustained
Within vile vindictive veils
An emotive etch
Negatively neglected
I’m a loving lachrymose.

She grew up a fragile flower
A fragrant fleeting tease
Waiting for the hour
For her love flowing in the breeze
Yes her love flowing in the breeze
Her petals red as wine
Her touch a feverous freeze
On moonlights, we would dine
For her love blowing in the breeze
Yes her love blowing in the breeze
Her beauty would devour
As she swayed with the trees
My foliaceous female flower
For her love showing in the breeze
Yes her love showing in the breeze
She would always strike a pose
And leave you with a wheeze
My relentless rhythmical rose
Her love gone with the breeze
Yes her love gone with the breeze.
Imagine if it were sung by Bob Dylan lol
