Sunshine stabs the eyes

Electric needles of slumber dying

Cold embers of love’s flames

Unwrap the soul’s blanket

Exposing naked lies

And there we are

Together alone

Uncooked biscuits of madness

Sprawled across a world of false truths

Screaming of a fear we cannot scare

Yearning for the wingless flight

Wishing spent smiles had cost less crying

Staring at clothed shame

Knowing not how to thank it

For blinding heart’s eyes

And there we are

Feeling the earth moan

Unburned coals of sadness

Spent and risen covering the truths

Dreaming of a sleep we cannot share
