Eternity Was On Our Lips

By Bella Butchery

Can I wake to see you in a blur
Or hide in the depths of your heart

Sleep : : Dream
Dream : : Sleep

Ripped tenants
Ache to walk again
While
White noise tides
And flutters my lids
To remember
A forgotten fragment
Of a shallow kiss
A hallow vessel
Floating through notes and tempos



Or maybe promises
That were simply trivial



Ripped tenants
Ache to walk again

As soon as you came
Is as quickly as you left
And when stars caught my eye

Silence beat its wings
When I looked up to embrace

    I like the last two lines...and feel that kind of wondering. And wonder if I am the other, that others wonder about.
