Catch me in the dark
Tear me from my will
Come & light this place
Where I’m so lost & still
Still free to decide
But cursed not to know
Is the path this far
From others, where I go?
Kiss the night away
Make its wings wither
Beneath the cover
Of shards, dirt & glitter
Within my darkest hour
Within the shades I make
I recognize
Everything I’ve lost within
What barely lives, but never dies
Within the mist I’ve brought
I see you
A mirror shattered
Old reflection
Frozen, & it’s still so true
Once caught in the dark
From life torn away
Breathing beyond dust
Face of China clay
All that I have learned
To you I wished to give
A gift of silent lunacy
The perfect way to live
Everything is wrong
Anything is right
The truth forever gray
& lies black or white
But everything you touch
Everything you see turns to stone
My goddess with a wrong spirit
Which one of us is now alone?
Behind these eyes you bought
I can recall
A lifetime that put us together
We could’ve been one
But never all
N.B.

You’ve got this way off thinking, that I wish I were able to emulate.
Even a little bit, would be to my benefit.
