LILY'S SONG
I’ve tasted you through a photograph
Held my breath until the last
Opened my eyes to soften the blow
You’re not perfect after all
I wrote a letter in your name
Dipped acid in crimson ink
Braille helps to lessen the sting
You’re not perfect after all
I breathe you through a plastic mug
Licked my lips to preserve the drop
But my heart knew everything all along
You weren’t perfect after all
I touched you through satin and silk
Empty gestures to your empty eyes
Continuum brings harmony
You were never perfect after all.
I watch you as I leave the floor
Unrequited and in the ground
Six feet to kill the loss
You were far from perfect after all.
I listen to you through the water chimes
Breathing only tinkles with sound
I’d rather leave than hear your voice
I loved you inspite it all.
I’d rather leave than hear your voice
I loved you inspite it all.
