Begin. Again.

Pierce me

Burn me

Throw me away

Look to the outer

Soon to betray

Fight for the easy

Leave for the hard

Linger under

Angst and scar

 

 

 

Lies, and lies

Desolate against

Hope the ever

Live again?

Flushed and bitter

Dense to see

Shield forever

Unto me.

 

 

 

Worth the fight?

Worth a try?

Leave whenever

Can’t deny…

Lack of worth

His or mine?

Shut me out

Love decline.

 

 

 

Speak to thee under starry sky

Ask and wonder, why o why

Beseech the stars, beg the sun

Lingers on, and yet undone

Ashes falling face to sin

Sprinkled gently under skin

Shield the bastard sons of all

Show the yielding how to fall

Ache for hunger, love betray

Wilt and cower, flee the day
