I'm living in squalor. It'll be summer again soon, And I wish that I could call her, But I've gone from prince to pauper. With every silently warm night, Her memory fades red, Like a doppler. I can't write poetry anymore. I'm not much pride to swallow. I'm a mended heart gone sour, A paper maché shell, now hollow. She can't really be blamed. Lovelessly alone with my bones, Blood long gone, long drained, That fault is my own. I can't really be blamed. Now she's all alone, With our bones. That fault is her own. Your constructive corruption, Wrapped me in, like a soft cocoon. And with every day without prosper, Your memory grows blue, Like a doppler.

red shift, blue shift, one wish, two cliffs.
