Diverted

I saw your ghost flickering
It burns the rain again
(My compassion into sand)
Lust to dust, I'm shedding skin
It quivers in your hands
Dear assassin, here I am

You deserve it
You deserted

That kiss that rips the skin
Untangles all the webs you spin so well
(I'll bathe in that delusion)
That thorn could be no other
Dissolves my every color, I know
The bitter afterglow

You were worth it
I thought I earned it
You deserted
I've diverted
And reign alone

(I know) The beauty in illusion
(I know) The safety in seclution
(I know) The comforting confusion
(I know) Your conscience must be weighing
(I know) To discard what is draining
(I know) Our embrace is breaking

(I know)
(I know)

With every storm I've weathered
To your last breath I've treasured
You cast aside that feather
I thought we bled together

When separation's measured
That fragile bone is severed
You cast aside that feather
But I know we bled together
But I know we bled together

(I know)
(I know)

You were worth it
I thought I earned it
You deserted
I've diverted
And reign alone
