eyes red
and a silver tongue
she never learned
she never won
your likeness
scraped out in relief
you dropped everything
to follow me
a foundation
made in falling sand
a house of lines
will never stand
the day went past
without a sound
the sky lit up
and faded out
hands tied to taste the void
a face escaped to the other side
diamonds fall from moistened lips
open up and let the water in
head down
and seconds up
a final word
is not enough
warm blood
melting thinning ice
on an open mouth
five miles wide
hanging from
the pulley rings
a life exposed
for us to see
stealing my sleep
those ankles bound
the sky lit up and faded out
hands tied to taste the void
a face escaped to the other side
diamonds fall from moistened lips
open up and let the water in
hands tied to taste the void
a face escaped to the other side
diamonds fall from your starving mouth
the sky lit up and faded out
