My Body, a Funeral

The ruin of your face Pours down like lead tears As you sit by my side Confess to me your fears Drink deep the wreck of me My body is a funeral I fail to find comfort In your pale cold eyes Worn loosely about me You hang there dying off me Deep in the misery Of my long arms, weeping I cradle your tired head This moment for the keeping Her hand raised from the shadows in silence Like a dying victim of a biblical plague A strange mix of innocence and horror Gushed from her red rimmed and swollen eyes Resentment conquers sympathy and I turn my back Her burning stare, like a minute blazing suns Roars into the back of my head And I simply move away I will sing you this song of All my pain, so listen Great roaring, tears pouring Down unto me from my lover The winter in your soul Has frozen me forever
