let me eat her pain
my faith to hold her flame
mangled silhouette against the rain
love knows no fear
nor torment of disdain
let me eat her pain
let me eat her pain
my faith to hold her flame
mangled silhouette against the rain
love knows no fear
nor torment of disdain
let me eat her pain
violet flame
embraced in fire
she strikes and devours
darkness and fear
undulating the horizon
drifting unknown seas
i saw you
in the distance,
years ago,
you were dark,
seemingly –
colour and poise,
and i was afraid
in my youth
maybe it was me
that was dark –
clumsy awkward fear…
maybe it was just
the wavering fluorescent force field
between us –
and you
standing upon the moon
so alone
so far from everything known,
unapproachable,
yet close
in darkness
and essence
