Bereft of Passion

The claws
The marks they set
Reminders of the passionful believers
Before the sun rose
To set no longer
The dusk, a fairytale to your weary eyes

In this unnatural heat
Composure wilts, compassion scorched
The tongue, the first to fail
Can no longer taste the sweetness
Of your lips or the fruit they bore in my shade
The underlying scent of defeat
I have bathed in it
Acrid elderberry

When pleasure sensors decay
Stripped of me my heart
Naked, no longer bleeding
The sun beats down on me
It cauterizes my wounds
To sacrifice the rest
If tomorrow never comes
I'll wait and see

The claws
The marks they set
Frameworks of such willful failings
Enter endangered, exit unafraid
I made up my mind up about the ending
To give myself the strength to seek
A new start

Rebirthed and hungry
I would swallow the world whole
To fill that hole inside of me

When pleasure sensors decay
Stripped of me my heart
Naked, no longer bleeding
The sun beats down on me
It cauterizes my wounds
To sacrifice the rest
If tomorrow never comes
I'll wait and see

So much for a sunset
I guess we'll never see
What tomorrow meant
Between you and me
The pain of burning
Resides in never knowing
The people we could be
