Jaded Amor

Screaming into darkness
Careening into emptiness
What is this unknown?
These vacant pages torn from a storybook unnamed
Where does it go?
I wish I could know...

Long since you’ve sheltered me
I don’t know who you’re supposed to be
Twisted and jaded is this reverie
That sings me to sleep in my memory

All along, you’ve kept this heart
Taped together, now it’s fallen apart
Your arms that felt like home
Are now my catacomb

Long since this flame died
The snow has covered all we were
Silent and mournful, it has vied
To drown out all the tears that I’ve cried

All along, you’ve kept this heart
Taped together, now it’s fallen apart
Your arms that felt like home
Are now my catacomb
Rusted are the veins that drew your love to me
Dusted are the lilies of our valley

In the midst of my twilight
Is when I see the shadows of you
Seeping through the cracks
Of the walls I built to keep you
My ears bleed for your voice
My glass heart bottles all I once felt
I just want to forget
To have loved and lost is all I regret
