Caramel Heart

Stand together, under the trees;

Warmth and togetherness is strong;

Bathe in the golden summers, long and lovely.

Cover yourself at night, don't let the lizards in,

For the glorious benefit of auburn nights.

Wind blows heavy and loud, crushing my hopes.

Naked creases form upon the soil, converging,

On the veranda where we sit sipping teas.

I talk slow so she will understand me,

Her caramel heart melts under my hands.

Unearth the bodies we buried before.

A long lost memory sits perched on the sink,

Its cat eyes stare loathingly at our actions.

Fire and water pour a steamy love.

She just won't listen to the sounds of life.

One day, i will look back at my birth,

Was it worth the pain i brought?

A wasted skin lies in the alley,

Drugged and ****** cuts along the spine.

Clouds decend upon the wedding reception,

Smokey and fragrent it pulls speech from speakers.

Knives, pierced through silver lungs.

Kindred spirits pile up in the gutter,

Never finding true peace.

I thought life was worthless,

Now its totally pointless.
