Misty Lullabies, Faulty Alabis

Another case of missing you And all I have are empty pill bottles And broken picture frames Scattering my carpet I've lost the will to suffer the poison of my mind And the frailty of my heart Loose-leaf love notes lay unwritten Begging to be finished The ache that writhes inside my chest is your absence And the miracle of your voice Faded daydreams fight through the nightmares Yearning for sincerity in their actions Inside misty lullabies are arising heart palpitations And thoughts of "what could've been" Ephemeral kisses mask my lips Raging for redemption Unaligned stars failed to hold us together And seal our dearest fate Trite misunderstandings hide my frowns Beneath the surface of reality Half-bitten apples like fragments of my heart disperse on the floor And attract anxious ants Hallow stomaches crave more than the necessity of nutrients It requests psychological fulfillment Swallowed confessions you continue to choke on And repeating apologies Distrusting anchors hold me back from the words I wish to say Begging for love An ocean, of salty tears Drip onto the tastebuds that always adored you And suddenly- nostalgic eyes are all I see In the mirror
