Verlaines Heavy 33
I can force you to smile, but it don't reach your eyes
Like the moon in the day, silently fades
That which formerly shined is obliterated
I'm striving to coax or wrench you - I can't even reach
you
You're starving for something - I've got nothing to feed
you
And renegade good intentions turn to scorn
All the clouds keep hoarding
All their airborne oceans won't fall
There's a creature of prey
In the darkness it waits
And it's fixing it eyes
Smouldering eyes, with a purpose of mind
On the line that it traces
I'm striving to coax or wrench you - I can't even reach
you
You're starving for something - I've got nothing to feed
you
And renegade good intentions turn to scorn
All the clouds keep hoarding
All their airborne oceans won't fall
