I first fell in love with my shapeless silhouette, the pallid plumes of a martyr's deathless debt
Counting tears staining the perished sky, time seduces cherished fear with a wordless sigh
Joy's my feigned desire-woe grew comforting, with cyclical shackles of familiar suffering
Shards of butchered meaning flicker and sink, drowning like a candle vanishing in the sea
Time's feral rapture pilfered depths of my tomb, violet toil shrouded my parade in lead balloons
Say anything even if it's a doubtless lie, truth's an oddity where I'll be tonight
Aloft in tempest wind lies ice of my skin, as death begins to dim and banishes all light
Pyres lit my lungs with writhing tongues, and gaunt poetry unsung speaking so contrite
I started falling again tonight
