heaven has never felt so close yet some days i miss the melancholy the stale taste of your ghost i sip tastes of the sweetness he graciously pours past my lips yet in my sleep when darkness and truth consumes i still see you like a beacon your ugliness shines through the mist wholesomely i love him, my love floats up high radiantly like all love should grow yet it remains anchored sturdily in the warm depths of my soul on the nights he's not home and the disfigured memory of you leaves a chill in my bones i remember how you really were dysfunctional and cold i remember his love and his radiant soul and how heaven has never felt so close
