There are no fairy tale loves It's just a projection of our desires Onto surreptitious hells Where Dante Sits with arms folded And hysterical laughter Threatening to explode From his well fed belly while Eros hangs by his neck from the ceiling. And I have memories Of putting my soul Into your bosom And listening To the crickets outside Until the lights of the stars And your secret smile Were the only things Dazzling my thoughts (The moments with you seemed perfect). There has been almost nothing That has been able to pierce The inadequacy and gracelessness That surrounded me Until you determinedly took My light And set it ablaze. But now you have stepped away from me You've lost yourself In the cracks of desire While letting understanding sleep, Frozen In time. There ain't no goodbye that's ever been this hard before. |
