Drives from the North Sky

Grab the steeple and pretend 
The life you had would end
Months gone we move along
We still hear whispers friend 

Moulded night drowns flight 
Drenched withered dred
Victimized, the whites, her eyes
Consumed chemical bed

If I pretend to lie and mend
What lesson ever learned?
Escaping safety sleepy daisy
The peddles pulled and again 

Echoed wave, waned moons fade
This is the darkest hour
Admitting fault and not exalt
Lies the laureled flower

Design your time and keep in mind
Evading isn't owning fate
As you had presumed this final move 
Bankrupt that fatal freight 

Vindictive lips once did kiss
Solemn they were a home
And forgotten passion project
Rotten to the bone

Mourning hearts mooring marks
Flee shattered scenes
Believed to be deceased at peace
Was my own response to misery
