You don’t feel like home
Your skin is all wrong
An unfamiliar glow
In your foul brown eyes
And your delicate hair
Traps me no more
You speak to me in
Inexplicable tongues
I needed you
I needed truth
Where were you then
Where did you go/leave
I welcomed the night
When it swallowed my eyes
I welcomed the stones
When they covered me whole
I’ve been cut before
Stabbed deep in the chest
Drained well of my blood
Before solitude struck
Cold wind blew the trees away
A dark sun over the waning day
My lucidity refused to stay
Time slowed to enhance the pain
