A scorching reckoning beyond the grave
There is no other truth awaiting you
No cleansing river for your soul to bathe
It's no secret, you have more than a clue

As it happens, I know my fate as well
A clear mind thinks well when it weighs little
I'll float over the scale; my heart will swell
It's hard to blemish what is so simple

So I beg of you--hand me a shovel
To be with you... I will uproot myself
Together from Hell hounds we can huddle
We better match than me and heaven's shelf

My peace on Earth will last eternity
Pass into the dark for our unity

A letter on the vanity mirror
One line: I can’t do with or without you
Pulling out a lighter--the words linger
Traipsing their way via smoke through the room

The wisps spelling out my own paradigm
Strange how experiences echoed names
In the embers I could see stars align
Forever intertwined, him I would claim

Known when I met him, loved when I left him
A roll of the dice, a monopoly
A chance, but always an absolute hymn
No matter the instrument it’s Holy

Blood drops make their way to the heart again
Returning home is my only fool’s deign

Can I gaze at the sun through your blue eyes?
Follow the moon’s orbit when they turn gray?
No matter the time of day I despise
The hidden truth that you refuse to pay

Hidden affections are a heavy load
Curiosity makes me want to sink
Deep enough into you that I can goad
Those special three little words from the brink

We talk about nothing, shooting the wind
Things heavier than air are too honest
The stars would shine on that we had each sinned
Easily become the antagonist

But I’ll say it-I love you so dearly
I can only hope you also love yours truly,

All is well in the world between us two
There's no need to be scared anymore
I have no eyes for anyone but you
Honesty never needs to settle score

I will hug a stuffie before I sleep
So you will always be the last thing on my mind
Your picture by my bed I safely keep
Lest I wake up reluctant to be kind

You are the best pumpkin in my garden
Smile on my little Jack-o-Lantern
Little mistakes are easy to pardon
I know you'll forgive me when it's my turn

You are the one who taught me what love is
This agony, what unspeakable bliss

Scattered love letters had coated my walls
Took twenty-two seconds to shred them all
Threw scraps to the hall listening to bawls...
The turbulence and impact from the fall

Splintering the foundation of my grace
Never desiring again to pair
"Please picture our future and our own space-
Golden era happily we will share!"

Pleas, promises, affection hit me back
I cannot quite conceive how I did bend
Broken down, calling our friends to ask tact
Ignoring them all because in the end

I had Known. Had understood-
Without you ever removing your hood
