Horizon

There is beauty on the horizon that I can almost see

A dream dances a breath from my fingertips,

Ghosting in the corner of my eye.

Yet all I find is the winter in my heart and the burning in my throat.

Yet all I see is a watery landscape disfigured through blurred, infected eyes.

 

This beauty on the horizon calls to me

Leaves forgotten sticky notes that won’t stay put,

Fluttering around the caverns in my mind.

Yet all they do is land in puddles of venom.

Yet all they do is make me pain for what I could be chosen to forget.

 

That beauty is almost past me now

In search of another lover to spend the night

Or a ***** to pay to hold him for a while.

Yet he doesn’t know what I’d give to be near him without this broken shell.

Yet he doesn’t know how easily we could intertwine and never be broken.

 

Those beautiful dreams could be mine to hold

Weighing less than a handful of sand,

Phasing more quickly than smoke through the air.

Yet my heart feels knives smirking in the shadows.

Yet my heart has nothing left

Except to bleed.
