******* I love that smile
But darling are you listening?
As I whisper words of passion
from a throat that will not sing

There's no cosmos is your glassy stare
No poem on your tongue
But I remember how you used to love me
Back when we were young

My fingertips are delicate
To the corruption in your veins
And with baby's breath below my knees
I'll pretend to feel no pain

So please tonight when you come home
Leave your armor at the door
Because I swear I'll always love you
But I won't scream it anymore
