my sweetest pout
can never ease
the doubt u carry
inside u
did u
really
expect my lips
to change ure
mind
blind
is how i
follow u
down
onto my knees
buried
beneath the pleas
of ure wounded ego
come
smother ure blackness
deep into my chest
rest assured
i can swallow ure burdens
take me there
wounded son
to the place that bleeds
i want to mend
to heal
to steal away
the pain that keeps u
hidden
let me under ure covers
& whisper to me
w/ scarcely a hair
between us
focus on
my eyes
my voice
my love
my choice
to give them to u
what a fool
to think i could cool
the fury
u burn w/
what a fool
to think
u wanted
me to
i endure the suffer
for a kind word from u
but
silence
is my answer
silence
is my reward
this little whore
w/ her mended ways
knows no sunshine in ure days
i can't refute
i won't dispute
the iniquities i carry
within me
i know them all too well
i long for ure tenderness
i plead for ure gentleness
i can not taste
my joys
w/ out
u
soon
the gloom will fade
& u'll be made
whole again
w/ the passing days
but
how long must i stay
disdained
from the
eyes
that used to hold me
so
enamoured
