i molded chasms out of thunderous roars

each scream i shook from crimson roses bled for you

i howled and bellowed every secret from frozen lips

nailed shut for you



i trembled sickly and clawed the earth

a mighty hand held my contempt and choked it

from my raspy pleas



these open arms that held the earth

mightier than atlas

with shoulders forged for grief

but not like this

this tender kiss

that night you stold the earth

of worldly bliss



to fall so frail

what stood so strong

please tame these wings

that used to soar

but now so cumbersome

weighed down with grief

so i must fall from starry heights

to land this heart of wooden beats

and when i fall and crumble forth

these splintered eyes will look for you
