Ashes

Under your dark cascading blanket I closed my eyes and such A tender swift caress From the evening summer hush I savored your very lips From the black of air you breathe I lusted for the crisps That I tasted from your teeth Addicted to your charm I was in for a swirling hell From the demons that caused harm To the skins of my own shell I lived for the beating lie The very poisons of my life Oh f*ck I'm gonna die, And I'm in for a lot of strife It had been centuries ever since When love had paved its way From the clock of greatest sins It ripped me failing you to stay Do you remember back in the day in spring? Through the music we used to sing Songs of love and joy and light Music flown from silver flight I always knew good things come to end Like how the flowers close in snow I knew wounds cannot be mend When you watched the blood to flow My heart bled while you stood to stare And new seasons blew my silver hair Yesterdays gloom chains my soul On my chest betrayal drilled a hole I thought tricks were only done by clowns They never tend to lie As I walked in empty halls All I see are grayish skies I cannot believe as I carried you In my lonely seeking arms You were painting other hues In our canvass blue and black Severed by fissures from the earth I fixed the mess you made Learned love from a woman since my birth That love was always something meant to stay Love was meant to fill you to the brim To help you grow and rise
