broken bottles and starless skies

By Six-Out

your lips burn my throat
as I beg of you :kiss me again

sweet surrender in golden arcs of time
drag your tired heart across my soul
as we lay on the dashboards of this place
watching the stars dance in the sky
it seems worth it, at times like this
doesn't it?

such lies we tell ourselves when we're naive
and alone in a void of life

just this once I'd like to ask of the gods
to spare me the sun tomorrow morning
-maybe paint the sky with a plastic silhouette

dream until forever- as we watch tomorrow die
is that a smile I see? no, couldn't be
for the likes of a life with no stars in the sky
is like a heart with no knife buried inside

look down the bottom of another bottle
and make it all go away

because it's hard to care, when you can't remember

I've read this a dozen times, and still I find more within it, it's cleverly crafted and laden with astounding metaphors... I feel tired, old and melancholy from reading this, thank you.
