I feel like a slave to this lonely beat
The one I keep playing, a tune on repeat...

I really am so sorry
How perfect it would be...

The cover looked appealing
Albeit the spine slightly cracked...

If you should dare to set my love alight
Can you be sure to handle a hot blaze...

Whispering wondrous messages on the wind
You speak through shapes in my hair...

She fluttered demure lashes
And licked full rosy lips...

Haunting cries echo in chasms of days
And loneliness smothers at night...

Empty out the oceans and let them all drain dry,
Orphan every being and listen to them cry...

The cheerful chirps are fewer now
Proud plumage plucked and bare...
