Ashen words fall from my fingers
Twisted bodies of hope and sadness
Spread across a white floor
A crime scene of my thoughts on you
The moon, the ivory Phoenix of the night
Perches on her shoulder
As she traces her fingers over the corpses
Of the words I’ve murdered in her name
Scarlet clouds form in her steps
In the landscape void of color in my mind
She reigns in a world of my making
That I destroy and rebuild everyday
So as the stars fade into a sapphire hue
At the start of a new song
And the celestial waltz tirelessly continues
I’ll make you the same promise I made yesterday
Always
