Let's bury the lovely inconsistencies Leave the intimate fallacies to mystery Then my perception of your passion fits with me Red brick to mortar you laid your deceit in a building order Despite the inherent wrecking ball tendencies you chose to utilize Blind to my youthful eyes Let's brush the displaced fervor for lust under makeshift throw rugs Void of emotion until you know no love As exhilarating as the love you left long ago as leaves of dogwood trees in a late Pennsylvanian november Rigid structures that wait a season to return to the lively form they remember Bare white bark and dead extremities Bare as your stockpile of passion meant for me The surplus became a short supply when I left your graces Amidst the sea of faces You encounter in the places You replace me to fill the voids and spaces My memory laced with traces Of your gentle touch, a cool spring breeze to my sun soaked skin Recalling the ominous climb before the downward spin We always seem to find ourselves in Perhaps the fact the rush of the climb washes my mind of the inevitable collapse I all too often push the moment from thoughts of past The sinking in my stomach peaking the point of no return As I set my eyes to the horizon and watch us burn In the setting sun of an Middle eastern summer Your lightning fast decisions to leave never compared to the rolling thunder That swept over my soul When you tore the hole In the hazel eyed sky of my perception with your ill fated rejection Casting projections Of your likeness in the constellations Trembling fingers wait patient Making comparisons and relations Between every aspect of you I savored To Orion's belt, cassiopeia, ursa major Every slight shift in its luminous glow A subtle reminder to me of the love you will never know Intergalactic representations paint the stage for supernovas Expunging the lovely aroma I grew accustom to Coming to harsh realizations there's no reciprocal paid in full for the love I loved for you.
