Desolate

Stuff your mouth with your hollow promises

my gentle liar

conquered my elusive heart as I did yours

yet you

left me to drown in waiting

let me go

your death by my hands

hands you once held

covered in your blood or mine

sullen skies

kneel before your grave wearing scarlet drenched in tears

let the earth cover my bones

your bones

heartless cage

wither to dust you'll never hold
