I put blinders on my heart

to keep from bleeding out my mouth

all over the shoes of those too mummified to

feel the souls of their own feet anymore

Work
Eat
Sleep
Repeat

Work
Eat
Sleep
Repeat

Work
Eat
Sleep
Repe­at

And whatever you do...
Don't even THINK about it

The sun can't make up for
Missing body heat
My maple leaf was torn
Cold spike was driven deep.
Sticky sap flows from me
My soul has been tapped
My sweetest flavors flowing
Won't ever get them back
Strands of shared pleasure
Wrapping around your hands
Connections with no measure
Getting messy wasn't the plan,
But you penetrated my bark
Seeking this supple blood
Bliss for your starving tongue
Left me empty now that you're gone.

When your face is forced into a
Frown and your drowning in the
Years that never happened out of
Fear that tears won't be enough to
Heal over time ticking away your
Life has exhausted every last option
So you flee to your bed hoping that
Sleep carries you else where but she's
Always there waiting to remind you that
Your dreams have been given away...

I opened my soul to you
Shared with you my dreams.
Now there's no escaping the loss
Not even in my sleep.

Don't look so sad
You'll get lost at see
