...of moondrop tears

solid steel, cold and angry 
bitter leather, silver terror of the distance between us now 
whitest pallor of blackest lips 
i have always stared at them and drowned my sails inside of you 
my whole body in a rage over 
air-brushed battles we have waged 
so terrified 
so terrified 
to divide and conquer the 
running-drunken-splendor over 
screaming blackest waters 
and the blood we shed 
in moondrop tears 
to remember broken bottles 
railroad ties so torn and mangled 
that safer place - we had everything 
inching closer, salt of your fingers 
pressed against you, legs could not bear the weight of night, nor the stain of light 
heavy scent of pain in the air 
weeping for the stillness did not comfort us 
it only frightened me 
to divide and conquer the 
running-drunken-splendor over 
screaming blackest waters 
and the blood we shared 
in moondrop tears 
now we lay the shallow grave 
to the end of sunlit days 
but we could have changed 
everything 
and forever i will carry your prayers to my lips 
returning the warmth to its master 
as you fade away 
in moondrop tears 
-oh god, i have always loved you. . .
