Always

By expressodreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dead on this altar I feel brave again Like the lone survivor of An unearthly holocaust: Unbound screaming detatched. This body is burning but I cannot feel the crumbling flesh. I am robed in ashes and Crowned in flames like starlight, My life is lost but I remain. The world is mine but All I ever wanted was you. An eternal dance of love and hate I wish for you, you come and go, I cry and you are my death. Begin again do you remember The things you say each Turn of the wheel? I do: Forever love entwined. Lies that I love I fall every time, You never bother to help me up. Tears: ocean, blood, storm, nectar, fire; Mine fall enternally to light your face but You cried just once, was it for me?
