Louder, louder!
Breathe me a storm, blow into
My eyes; force tears from a frozen
Stone.
Touch me with lightning, run your
Palms against my scars until
Your fingerprints wear down and
All evidence of our sin washes
Away like blood from a September
Crime scene flooded with rains.
Louder. Louder!
Shut my thoughts out with slaps and
Painted nails clawing and digging at
My chest in search of a heartbeat.
Once a man has gone cold, he's
Impossible to reheat.
Throw all your love on the fire, I'll
Only slip through your fingers like snow
Brought to a boil, kissing blister farewells
On your hands, rendering our
Love an open cut you weep into.
Louder, Louder!
Cry my name into my absence,
Cry the pain of love passing away in your
Arms like a wounded child soldier's blood
Onto battleground soil.
Arise to avenge your hopes.
Take this frozen stone and name it Heart.
Cain to your Abel. Apple to Eve.
When love is reduced to a shadow, it's
Barely called ******
