It Goes By

Bled for truth in subtle honesty Hope the day's sacrifice will mean Then end of this crazed tidal dream For you know of what I speak The cute candor of nothing more Will be the downfall of what you implore Drift aloft through midnight hopes Another helping of roses to forget Watch the petals fall past your regret Posed in eloquent and harmonious prose I mean for the guise to be it all Where the days will garner the fall Watch the scabs and scars fall away The clarity that escapes the day See the blade fall upon your head For after this, it will be dead In circumstance and in time The wine will flow and the words rhyme Hazy dreams matter not in frame The death of something far more lame The hope that guards the fantasy within The night that counters thoughtful sin To play with the words is to dance And to dream of happenings and change Remember how the days came together With buzzing electric skies and tremors I stood in awe as the sparks began to fade For I hoped the night would be a darker shade Where we took the truth that the day dies In the trunk of a tree where our stories coincide The remembrance of the singular past will shake And the realities of love will make your soul quake To open the truth to the calling of the sirens For I know not what is means to ever cleanse The music and song will change the temper hence In the misdemeanor of what can make no sense The disappearing guise of nostalgia and fate For this suspenseful story can only ever berate A change of heart met with force and blockade For in the end, I can only ever think of what stayed.
