Tonight, br Like every day, br you complained at words br I used perchance. br Speculated, br that they lacked romance. br The hurt I hide, br you do me with your words lance. br br In the shadows br of the room you stay. br As I waited for the light br to fail in your eyes br I can see in the br hooded eyes, br the lies that as truth you say. br br My words br are obnubilated with darkness br of settled blood. br Congealed, br mingled with the earth br it reeks the rust red br that blood just bled. br br br I traversed a journey thru br your covered miles. br And with me, carried br a pair of smiles. br The smirk, to veil from the world br the crepuscular agonies. br The other, a grin at self br to attempt these follies.
