To my loves, Crimson and Jet alike.

I loved that night I watched you fight
and prove you can't be true
malign intent that's heaven sent
we've all got jobs to do
I take these pills and though it kills
to choke them down each day
I almost feel it makes one real
to suffer in this way

wash it down
with alcohol
receiving
blackest raven's call

my heart spoke more on this old score
so shuffle me away
you have no right to dim this light
no matter what she'll say
yet those young hands held burning sands
and you threw them in my eyes
I spoke my truth with 90 proof
preventing certain lies

you heard me
but not quite yet
diseased and
trying to forget

the one with wings will tell me things
you don't want me to hear
craft your excuse and get some use
from the ones that you keep near.
But I'll stay true and stand by you
wash clean the stain of trust
now you won't hear, or show me fear
...eventually you must.

ignore me
not without cost
deceased yet
still a ways from lost

The one with horns so gently warns
you're wounding me too deep.
The roles reversed, you hurt me first
with a promise you can't keep.
I know she cares, those empty stares
beg me to take away
all the profane to keep her sane
and teach her how to play

inside me
you've grown quite strong
demonic
crying out her song
crying out our song
 
*Draws in a quick breath and lets it out in a slow sigh, eyes glistening with tears.*

Oh...How very sad. So beautiful and sad.
