I adore the very ends of the earth
I walk towards them with every step
My morning searching for the best way to fall
A line I always knew as irreversible
Irrevocable
Silence
Silence that screams to my closed eyes
My naked skin
The scars on my face and my hands
The stars I imagine
The way that I love
Im only a part of this world
That you walk
And breathe in
I deny the night
As its wings are shadows
And they fly
Sent from some oblivion
To deliver me
Silence
Silence that grows in your hair
And whispers
There is a line I have crossed
And there is no return
It boils in my fingers
And becomes everything I touch
This hope of you
And how loving
Has shown me death
I never had to feel
Until I felt everything you are
The ends of sand and time
The ends of the the worlds I hold

I know how to die
When my eyes can see no skies
And my mind forgets tomorrow
There is no fortress I can run to
Only a grave in a cemetery
Neglected and left to decay
The day is not my friend
And not my teacher
The day is a wolf
And the wolf is hungry
The star of the morning
Samuel
I know how to die
When the fires cannot be warmth
And my skin is shadows ashes
There is no home I can find
Only a strange land
Where the sun refuses to shine
The night will have no moon
Only crying darkness
The night is a demon from hell
Grasping claw-handed for my skin
The star of morning
Samuel
A little dark

The hurt gets worse, and the heart grows harder
-Warren Zevon

When I die
No one will know
My stones will fall heavy to the floor
Each one engraved
Chiselled by primal hands
With another lonely sorrow
A cuneiform alphabet
I spent my life carving brittle rocks
In sights unseen

When I die
I die again
This times the last time

When I die
I will die a young man
My skin still beautiful to the world
But my skin grown cold
My forgotten dreams
A short time that was wasted
My rotting flesh
My blood standing still in my arms
That cannot hold

When I die
It will be because I've given up
And God shows me mercy

The moon must cry when he sees you
The moon as the king of the night
To see your feet
Stepping further into the dark
The stars shine brighter for you
Burning with every inch of might
To bring you light
As you are passing through the gloaming

I cry with the moon
I know your beauty was meant for the day
But summer's setting sun
falls heavy on your soul

The moon must cry when he sees you
Falling back into the black
The surrounding of pain undistilled
As you lose the hope you held
The stars burn brighter for you
Giving every cosmic strength
To show you love
As you know I do like I was born for a reason

I cry with the moon
And surrender all my fate
I live to be the sunrise
Your skin is my name

I love you more than suns
Infintismal morning and spectacular night
My constellation shines bright onto your dusky life
When the light is fading low
I love the stars
I love you more than stars
And how the stars became your skin
Your prophetic vision of doom
My gift of a life ever after
I love your heaven
I love you more than heaven
Because an angel's song sounds sweeter on your lips
And harps and trumpets sit in the clouds you hold
Your music is perfection to my ears
I love your sound
I love you more than sound
Sound becoming symphony to cascade the unfeeling mass
And bring the rhythm of rapids as your heart beat
Your heart beats in my chest
I love you
More than sight or touch
I love you as a dream
I love the stars
I love you more
