Imagine when it's years
You lost count of the tears,
Next to her
Time stood still,
But when she left
It was theft after theft,
Time escaping
Between the moments
You try to remember
And the memories
You cannot forget,
How you lost yourself
And now you're trying again
To find the you that was
Whole before she
Came in
Like that wrecking ball,
You know
You're never going to be done
Putting yourself back together,
Find pieces
Under places
You don't want to look,
Afraid you'll still find her...

She begs
And he delivers
Mutual destruction
Tearing them together
They know not
What ails them,
They utter love
But this carnage
That leaves them
Breathless panting
Made dogs
Is beyond
Their understanding,
Lying to themselves
That either one
Is the Master
Of their domain,
Ashes and cinders
They shed
Their feet trailing
Their hearts molten,
There will be nothing left
But bones on a bed
No one standing...

Press your lips
Against
My stained glass heart,
Leave an imprint
That I can see
When the sun shines in,
Look in
On all the shrines
The empty pews
Where I
No longer worship
The false deities,
Unlike you
Whom I pray for
In earnest
What sins
I wouldn't commit
But for your devotion,
Shatter my soul
And let all the pieces
Of me
Reflect you...

Take pieces of me
With you
To go,
But don't leave me
In the fridge
Forgotten
Left there
To rotten,
I'm oh so fresh
From the crisper
And deserve to be
On your lips,
Who cares
If I'll be
An eternity
On your hips,
I'm a treat
Not a threat,
Take as much
As you want,
As you need
But take heed
When I whisper,
Give in and live a little...

Now I feel
A different kind
Of hunger,
How I yearn
How I dream
A want
A need,
Deeper than I can sink
Larger than I can grasp
A fervor that is effervescent
For her,
Does it mean anything
Doesn't mean a thing,
No harder decision
To hunt
Or abandon,
Give in to instinct
Or fight intuition
This sentiment
In the core of me
Consumes me,
As I would
If I could
Devour her...

She can't
Makeup her mind
Like she does
Her face,
Blush and rouge
She knows
But the real choices
Elude her,
No foundation
Can hide
What's behind
Her eyes,
The incoherence
Jumbled up
An attic
Forgotten,
She trips
But none can see
As she walks
Defiantly graceful,
Where she'll go
Not a syllable
From her lips
Will divulge,
But her hips
Will surely sway you there...

She looks good
In my peripherals
For reals,
She likes to wear Prada
But she can rock nada,
That's her best designer
None finer
So imagine when
I look at her
Head on
It's like an oncoming semi
I'm crushed
A little weak in the knees
Her beauty
An onslaught
A myriad
Of unbelievable,
It can't just be me
I see the ocean of eyes
Locked on her,
Fortunate am I
If she only sees me
I'm but a peasant
To her my queen...
