Assassins and Secret Lovers

There are no words to express

Such a stark anguish that I feel

And the butterflies in my chest

Are choking back my liquid will

And I'm exhaling glass fragments

Of their stained wings like stardust

And when it touches upon your skin

It disintegrates into cold scarlet rust

.

Love, it used to be my rancid predilection

I was the decaying shadow of human lies

'Til I learned to forget pain of desperation

And breathed in your blue California sky

You are an embedded paralysing injection

Festered within my tangled purple nerves

Confusing me under ire fumes of sedation

Spirits drip on your coffee eyes and words

.

I shall burn down your name into my throat

Kill off an evanescent horizon for some hope

I'll hang myself in guitar strings and charms

Slip sugar water between our lips lukewarm

But you're the bittersweet candy I can't keep

Your pastel taste is melting in my mouth fine

For you're the azure ocean that's far too deep

I'm the receding shore, you will never be mine

.

But in another universe of a selfish timeline

Where candescent stars glow, not in decline

Your faint laugh is mine solely for the taking

And every night I repose to your soft singing

Where angels and monsters collide, converge

Without prior fears and crippling trepidations

Where the haziness of an everlasting midnight

Is splashed with redolence of tangible emotions

.

Oh no, it doesn't matter at all if you disappear

Just as long as I also vanish with you, my dear

I'll chase the missing sun like algid ice for you

Let's fake our deaths now and leave not a clue

We'll hide under the hushed elusive moon of Ellai

Amidst dark silhouettes and starlights we shall lie

I pray to the goddess of assassins and secret lovers

For a clandestine place where only you and I matter.
