swirlng in my eyes,
do you see
the street is black

Shattered Countenance,
I am torn to
seeing dark now
but this touch, this
touch that,
touch me,
touch black

Touch charcoal tears that
drip to please,

these dripping pleas
now sipping these
shots, ripping me

...apart...

touch me,
touch black

...Now I lean
on black of you,
the grey is in your eyes.
a chill, a wind blows through your hair
...the blood is on your thighs...

our hands are clasped to sacrilege
our breath is getting thin
our anguished sobs for colour; red
drips from our wrists to touch our skin.

Saturated Scarlet
still we try
and still we cry,
all other colour will defy
until we break, until we die,
and in each other's arms we lie

within a shattered countenance

...still we try...
...still we cry...

Do you see the grey water

Shattered Countenance,
I am torn to

Touch charcoal tears that

these dripping pleas
now sipping these
shots, ripping me

...apart...

the grey is in your eyes.
a chill, a wind blows through your hair
...the blood is on your thighs...

our hands are clasped to sacrilege
our breath is getting thin
our anguished sobs for colour; red
drips from our wrists to touch our skin.

Saturated Scarlet
still we try
and still we cry,
all other colour will defy
until we break, until we die,
and in each other's arms we lie

within a shattered countenance

...still we try...
...still we cry...
