Canaan The Love Slasher
We could meet
but it ain't easy
to fool me
when I'm grounded
by this fear
We could speak
but it ain't easy
to understand me
when I'm moved
by this anger
we could share
but it ain't easy
the seeds in my hands
as memories from the past
sometimes I breathe at night
and I dream of the dying lights
dancing like stones in the sky
branding monochrome scars with their fire
abiding the silent wake
in a grief I will never forget
fallen stars giving birth in my heart
to a new life
We could join
but it ain't easy
to reach me
when I'm buried
in the ground
We could melt
but it ain't easy
to touch me curled up in my shell
I thought this was my way
I put a smile on my face
so that you believed I was
just a spectral friend of yours
then shame cut off our souls
like the blades of a thousand words
cutting loose the red threads once again
like broken pages out of our love
sometimes I breathe at night
and I dream of the dying lights
dancing like stones in the sky
branding monochrome scars with their fire
abiding the silent wake
in a grief I will never forget
fallen stars giving birth in my heart
to a new life
