Dream Breaker

The night got us both

 

Forlorn  

And tattered 

All layered 

In the scattered thoughts

That maybe 

We could have been better

 

We went willingly

 

Lawlessness 

In our eyes

Or 

Peacefulness 

Pitched full speed

that calmed this heart 

I've come to call 

The engine 

That kept driving

what I feel 

For you

 

We never needed convincing

 

You could always make

Simple hard 

And make a hard choice

Softer 

Just by grazing it

To imbue it 

With a spirit 

You keep locked up

Safe from view 

 

You led me into this, thank god

 

Worship 

Is made for temples

And I visited yours often

Between the hours 

Of witching

And wallowing 

Hoping to touch 

The goddess peeking 

Behind those sheets

 

The night always ends though

 

And we spent the night talking

Like we were lovers

Long lost 

Finally rekindling 

A fire 

Or so we thought

 

We were just losing each other 

In each other's lives,

lieing to the gutter 

that what we had 

wasn't complete bullshit,

Im sifting a better life 

out of this dust I collected 

that fell from your coat,

i hung on every word spoken 

every promise broken 

every long drive traveled 

and the tokens you left 

because secretly 

you don't want me to forget 

what you're obviously unable 

to remember,

 

dreambreaker,

have you forgotten our vows?

to let me sleep 

without sound

and the memories 

of what must remain

must always strain 

to be disavowed 

 

Ill sleep 

when the Sun drips down on me
