the shadows on the ceiling diffuse as I watch
heightened nights and adrenalined days
I am alive, I live
Each day dawning anew,
my soul flies, I am a star.
But then the sun turns, the stars bleed from the sky,
bleed down onto my heart, and I collapse in the dirt
I cannot deny that a part of me will never relight.
the **** on my cheek will always linger
With one of the senses gone, others heighten,
the dark is clear, the cuckoos song intelligible
A jet roars past, and for a moment
in the deafening thunder, I don't feel the cavity's ache.

I see the veins wrapped around my bones
Glimmering blue bonds restraining me
The meat of my self, pulsing in attempts to break free
But I am held in place
Like a fishing net, they catch up my expression
And I am grateful
For without the restraint, my essense would everywhere be spilled
Still, life seeps from the the grating
Down my limbs it streams
As a river fresh cuts through the swamp
or is it my plain?
Collecting to pool, then dripping in my wake
So trailing the source
My bridal veil will never be disembodied

Forget me.
I can only bring you down.
Forget me, and you will soar on
To light and liberty bound.
Forget me.
And your dreams will come true
Because the only thing I ever did
Was to make them impossible for you.
Forget me.
I rock at your wake
The love we shared is buried past
This smile for you I fake.
Forget me.
As you look into her eyes
Forget me, and she'll be the one
Your ransom from the skies.
Forget me.
As the ache of those days fades
As you share her kiss
I stare at my reflection in so many blades.
Forget me.
And all that could make you blue
But one promise I'll keep
That I'll never forget you.
