Miles Of Tears

Miles of tears trail in glory
A-c-r-o-s-s desolate landscape
Buried among stormy skies,
Find you under hidden roof
Lost in thought staring at four walls
Sliding matter across glassy floors,
Bird song secret message understood
By none except one,
While Elton John sings love songs,
Meatloaf would do anything
Yes, anything for love,
Confusion reigns, is it just
Miles of tears are not enough?

Knife sinks, shreds plush flesh,
Graveyard tears, landlord shuts gate,
Sorrowfully mutters, shakes his head,
For there will be no rest at dusk,
Or rising at dawns red sun,
No turning of tides, or banishing the moon,
No straight road, or magical crystal ball,
Simply a matter of love
Misunderstood.
Stop chucking knives, I ache.
My back out of reach to extract
Pounds of flesh you extort daily.
Walls breathe ALONE as
Ceiling bears down, crushing
Bitten nails drowned
