I’m saturated in sin
Though I’ve been to the Holy Masses
Not even the Pope could save me
For the closest I’ve ever been to God
Is when I’m laying next to a woman

The world is such a grotesque place
Everything in it so black and white
Everyone wanders so aimlessly
But then
I hear your voice
It chills me to the bone
I turn around
Street lights begin to illuminate
The grass is green
Stars in the night sky begin to burn
Like my love for you
I take ten steps forward
Suddenly everything around us
Erupts in color
Fuchsia in the flowers
Indigo paints the sky
The world is so beautiful

But as I stop
You’re staring so blankly ahead
I can tell your world is still so grey
You walk straight ahead
I take ten steps back
As you pass
The color begins to dissipate
Flowers die
The sky turns somber
A world without color
Is hardly a world at all

I don’t blame you for walking

Thoughts of you come to me
Like permanent reverie
Your silhouette dancing so fiercely in my mind
I find your lips pressed against mine
Your embrace so kind
Until the dream is over
And it’s back to reality
But it’s always been you
And me
Dancing on the edge of consciousness
