Love was never easy
But I believed we would bloom like angels
With no fear, with no consequence
Loving you, my best friend, my everything
I painted us a picture
Of pinks and violets and blues
But all I see is burnt umber and greens
Memories in
Repressive states
Emotional tranquillity
A candle in my bedroom
Just maybe
Just maybe
There is more to life than pain
Objective desires
I will turn this lake into a sea, and take the moss
Cerulean moons
Lust and dreams between my teeth
What did you say?
I wasn\'t even listening
I was lost in the music of the seagulls
The night reflecting in my sunglasses
Hitherto the breeze, the pitter-patter
The leopard and the lull
Pull the pith of an orange, suck the bulb
Caress your shell with my tongue
The light unfurls in my palms and then it\'s dark
And then it\'s okay
The clouds melted away like ice cream
And the sun is disappearing
Into peach, plum midnight horizons
And I\'ve turned into an observatory
Stargazing
I love you like all of my addictions
I love you like rain in the morning
Fog drifting through meadows
Lay your worried head on my shoulder
Pour me another drink
Pour into me until we\'re comatosed
So we don\'t have to think
Find me the last place we kissed
Accept me for who I am
A tired boy with tired eyelids
Place a kiss on my lips and carry me away
With the tides, with the embers
Vanishing like shadows
Through the door
Through the trees, dead no more
My skin is growing cold
I walk the streets
Looking for the love I lost
But all I find are the ghosts of yesterday
Silver and gold
Your love haunting me
Your love haunting me.
