Do the diamonds on my face match the edge
in your voice when you speak and when you cry
in the bathroom light
Quiet, I say then
for a voice that could never be silenced
Loud, I can’t help it
it burns my ears like old TV static
Lord, it’s too much
With the vice-clutch you have on my cold hand
Weakly, I can’t stand
You are there, you always have been for me
Land, it’s so, so close
Pioneering black waves by Mirial’s
coast, you lead me there
Do the strands of your hair match the darkness
in my heart when you grasp it tighter than
iron, it’s on your lips
Your ghost trails my mind
Stars of Orion splattered out on a
c-constellation
Your face and mine, in which I cannot find
worry lines, don’t fear
I will always be here for you, my dear
Time is running thin
Like the walls between us, dew in the air
Breathe, you tell me to
I cannot, not when I no longer have
you, in my arms’ reach
I should come closer, to be in your touch
Please, tell me softly
Am I too much, or am I just a blood
sucking leech, gone now
The mast has blown, the ship sailed far from near
Whisper, in my ear
‘My love for you is endless’, our lady
she, does defend us
Heart of steel, heart of ice, a heart so real
this cannot be right
I am yours, you are mine, we are one, twine
in vine, stuck with you
Where else would I be
If not by your side
Surely entangled in my own frenzy
I think, you saved me
