| Won’t you rest your ruined head my weary child
|
| This world was not for thee
|
| I send you now the promised land
|
| Not one breath did you heave stilly born
|
| Unto this earth sleeping so soundly in my arms
|
| A slug-like trail of ochre fluids where we’ve danced
|
| The sun is setting now I hold a modest hand in vain
|
| My lung emit a sigh
|
| What fiend would take these tiny eyes and show them to the dark
|
| Gods just a lie
|
| Never born into this den of sin
|
| That which erodes the most tender of things
|
| After the eve have fallen
|
| The lights are sinking low
|
| Shadows would hide that life
|
| In him could never grow
|
| A hollow gaze peers from the cradle black
|
| Imagining his shining eyes just sockets staring back
|
| Witness the baptism skeletal the world would shun
|
| Reject the purest form of love
|
| A mother to her son
|
| I proceed to nurse him
|
| I could almost smile
|
| I entertain the notion
|
| That he did live this while
|
| But he’s dead to this world
|
| Carved out just like my heart
|
| Soaked up and washed so lovingly
|
| Cherished son unconditionally
|
| In our secret world alone
|
| Situation delecate crudely frowned upon
|
| In our sacred love undone
|
| Never born into this den of sin
|
| That which erodes the most tender of things
|
| After the eve has fallen
|
| The lights are sinking low
|
| Shadows would hide that life
|
| In him could never grow
|
| A hollow gaze peers from the cradle black
|
| Imagining his shining eyes just sockets staring back
|
| Witness the baptism skeletal the world would shun
|
| Reject the purest form of love
|
| A mother to her putrid rotting son |
