Shine Together
By Lab Rat
After the fires have burned low
Ember glow through shadowed room
I've loomed, stood inside your mood
With fists clenched, howling at the moon
Ink blood, I've drenched myself
Quenched a thirst of words painted in relief
To you, I bequeath
Speak of rhythms, talk of drink
We've sang your hymns, walked abit
Beneath thunder heads and lightning eyes
Where you jump in dread, I whisper
of watchful lies, protective boon
Everything, just for you, all my
Heirlooms, everytime I have
Prying time, trying crimes, with a bottle strewn
Head board, we've had each other
But without your tying knots and strangling clots
We have bled one another
You in crimson and silver contact, steam punk make believe
Me in ink and pen, Just asking again
Please relieve me of this funk, this rut
I've dug myself into, this fantasy is becoming
My entire entity, and my smothering
Is your infinity, shattering our tranquility
With tense words uttered, from clenched jaws
Grit teeth, gnashing maws spitting verbal heat
Murdered motivation is draining colorless
Into a mutual regret
It appears so, at least
In the dusk you still pull from my arms
Chase away across the bed, sharp elbows and cries
Of alarm
I used to smile, when you'd wake from dreams
Lost in that subscious make believe
How it seems you're stuck on some mile
Walking somewhere you feel we must
Or sitting beneath some weeping willow,
picking at some scars, sailing across moonbeam
Strewn sea of bone and pixie dust
Where it's always raining stars and trust
I used to smile when you couldn't tell that daydream
From reality, the visions just too deep to shake
Sometimes now I wonder though, if you're struggling to wake
Or to fall back asleep
If its slumber you want, let me ask
Just this
If you wish another world view
If you could, please
Take me with you
