|
I breached the borders of your home |
|
And everything looked as it should have done |
|
Candle flame flickers and books unread |
|
Round the crystal kept on an unmade bed |
|
Flowers cut to shrivel and die |
|
Like romance does and we both know why |
|
With an artful flutter as if on cue |
|
A gentle breeze brings the scent of you |
|
I?m older than God and I live in your town |
|
You shouldn?t raise up what you can?t put down |
|
Those books that you pose with are more than antiques |
|
When you search in the dark you should fear what you seek |
|
Pallid in moonlight your shimmering skin |
|
Is mine to caress you invited me in |
|
The delicate architecture of your throat |
|
Arcs sweetly away as my hands approach |
|
Do you bleed diamonds |
|
Do you bleed rubies |
|
Do you bleed roses |
|
A broken kiss and an aching sigh |
|
Like a half heard end of a lullaby |
|
A whispering chorus and a stifled moan |
|
The jarring vibration of knife on bone |
|
The stark composition of essence and parts |
|
I gathered your limbs for a final dance |
|
A silent waltz to your songs unsung |
|
As the lifeblood seeps from your punctured lung |
|
Do you bleed diamonds |
|
Do you bleed rubies |
|
Do you bleed roses (x2) |
|
Oh you bleed diamonds |
|
You bleed rubies |
|
You bleed roses (x2) |
