Shivering limbs with shadows still
The room is a masquerade
For empty robes and beaten bones
Dancing with their silent blades.

Don’t turn your head to the silent dead
They hear the fear you breathe,
Close your eyes; say your goodbyes,
Soon you’ll go underneath.

Here I stay and I await
Your soul to leave your shell,
For you, my love, have yet to burn
In the flames of my own hell.

How did I lose that golden thread
I wrote so joyously about?
When did the meaning of comfort change?
Why does it seem there’s nothing around?
My sweet child, Blue, I love you, I do.
But I must follow this path I have paved
Through changes thick or wrong
You and I must be strong.
But my love, do you resent me today?

Dear baby Blue, my sweet child its true
I don’t feel it in my breath these days.
But I assure you I will still find
All the reasons that have us bind
To this world and these fleeting ways.
I must ask, is that enough?
For all that I have now become.
Is this a sin drowning me in its wake?
My sweet love of Blue, I have to tell you, I do.
Soon this ocean will consume my name.

The wounds you keep scratching
Are from ages past
Don't make yourself bleed
Again

You rattle my dreams, haunting,
With a love I never found,
Our touch and kisses, daunting,
But I melt without a doubt.

I know I told you, you’re a dream
You just laughed and said aloud
You’re here with me, as I am free
Our love explores unbound.

You rattle me, with your haunting,
Our love was never around
Then I wonder, how daunting
If I went and looked about.
