...of moondrop tears

solid steel, cold and angry
 bitter leather, silver terror of the distance between us now
 whitest pallor of blackest lips
 i have always stared at them and drowned my sails inside of you
 my whole body in a rage over
 air-brushed battles we have waged
 so terrified
 so terrified
 to divide and conquer the
 running-drunken-splendor over
 screaming blackest waters
 and the blood we shed
 in moondrop tears
 to remember broken bottles
 railroad ties so torn and mangled
 that safer place - we had everything
 inching closer, salt of your fingers
 pressed against you, legs could not bear the weight of night, nor the stain of light
 heavy scent of pain in the air
 weeping for the stillness did not comfort us
 it only frightened me
 to divide and conquer the
 running-drunken-splendor over
 screaming blackest waters
 and the blood we shared
 in moondrop tears
 now we lay the shallow grave
 to the end of sunlit days
 but we could have changed
 everything
 and forever i will carry your prayers to my lips
 returning the warmth to its master
 as you fade away
 in moondrop tears
 -oh god, i have always loved you. . .
