David
I’m a fool, hiding in the caverns of your skin
This love’s diary now lost, written in the inks of sin
Since you left me, there’s no way back
My nerves of steel have begun to crack
When you would lean in for a tender kiss
How I dream to return to that solitary bliss
I wipe my tears but the thought will still remain
The canopy has opened, and for that let it rain
As the water pours gently down my skin
The remains of you, swirling in an insipid spin
You destroyed me in an intimate fate
Kept me captive in a spine tingling state
Rough edges of the words you spoke
Pierced me with every word you wrote
I would let your lips clean up this blood
Let the dam crumble, bringing on this flood
Each day I sink deeper into this dark sleep
So I say open the gates and let them reap
Your memory is carved into the mist as the sun rises
I’m fighting to remember what your love surmises
So when I walk into the sunset and begin to forget
I’ll trace it in my eyelids for when it’s to set
You taught me your tenderness, let your eyes caress mine
This melody of passion, you were my partner in rhyme
The thought of you is still hanging in each sorry note
A flicker of my eyelids is all that keeps my brain afloat
As I try forget when our lips used to entwine
That I am yours, but I forgot you are no longer mine.
