The Canvas Killed Me

Standing side be side
and eye to eye
seeing worlds through
our demise

the breeze sifts our hair
making liquid crystals
raining down on our
weathered hands

your voice is mute as
dust fulls my lungs
together we bleed dry
together we sing in discord

and together we die
like the others do.

a sea fills our corners
and pours down the wall
but we catch it in our hands
and our tongues.

the bitter taste of years lost
fills our words with despair
but we speak them silently
concealing the cause

silence in the morning breeze
rings in our ears
and the siren of the sun
is concealed by the rain

standing here in complete euphoria
and with the aid of the bleeding sky
We fall..

into the darkness.

Where love welcomes us in open arms
and bloodshot eyes.
