We are the material of dreams A constellation falling into place We live on edges and whims An exploration in the dim Our cigarettes are brighter than our eyes Kisses forced and unjustified Our lips reek of haem And our veins burst at their seams We fall with a dull thud far from elegance Mirroring our left of paragons 'Am I to last?' I remember me say And you say crying, 'Your sad eyes gave you away'
