Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away Yet I never want to Your words of vines Roses that grow no thorns Eyes of hazel No that isn’t enough to describe it The soul I see within these mirrors I, all but hallowed Can feel the drops of copper Become not a disfigurement They are the stars of my galaxy Scarred, crooked smiles become the crescent moon That must mean you are my world My home The one thing I will stay tethered to Can’t be anywhere else Even as my body rots Even as I am beaten to nothing but ash Even as this life withers like a black rose I will still love you I will stand here in your image Yet you’ll never know Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away These vines I’m buried with have no comfort like you

Statue Burial
Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away Yet I never want to Your words of vines Roses that grow no thorns Eyes of hazel No that isn’t enough to describe it The soul I see within these mirrors I, all but hallowed Can feel the drops of copper Become not a disfigurement They are the stars of my galaxy Scarred, crooked smiles become the crescent moon That must mean you are my world My home The one thing I will stay tethered to Can’t be anywhere else Even as my body rots Even as I am beaten to nothing but ash Even as this life withers like a black rose I will still love you I will stand here in your image Yet you’ll never know Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away These vines I’m buried with have no comfort like you
