Eyes so dark they swallow reflections, Lips dried and burned by acidic lies, Tears avalanching down proud cheekbones, You scream curses to the sky.
I stand watching on a hill. Tears painting blood on the green of grass, Lips bit shut to prolong the silence, Eyes reflecting flames of the setting sun.
From where I stood I could see Shadows dancing Around the barren patch of land Where you stood watching As the sun plummeted Extinguished by the frozen skies.
You stood Looking out to sea Fingernails cutting Deep into the palm of your hand As you held on To a single white rose Dyeing it red as the grass at my feet.
From where I stood I could hear Tears pounding the soil At your feet A steady rhythmic beating Like a heart Still bent on living.
You stood Whispering to the shadows Circling like vultures Their wings clipped So they crawl on the ground Like worms slowly trying to make their way To the secret underneath your feet.
Eyes gray as the bright lonely moon, Lips whispering the silence of goodbye, Tears settling on the edges of a crooked smile, You took something that was once mine.
I lie buried in damp regret. Tears locked behind deadened eyes, Lips poisoned by your last goodbye, Eyes sewn shut by the hand of your obsession.
