Forgotten Blood

 

I’ve never seen the sky

So filled and so alive

As I can see it in your eyes

And hear it on your breath…

 

The way you look at me

An angel greeting the sea

A voice calling out to be

Something more beside you

 

You’ve spent a summer by my side

You made it winter in your stride

And yet for all the dreams you provide

I have only cried in a dream

 

You stood by to watch me bleed

Can’t you see it was your seed?

Nothing more that you could speed

Not even with God’s willing breath

 

Now your voice is soft as blood

You keep on warning me of flood

And in the darkest hour’s bud

You shrink away as poison, poison

 

I loved you as long as you loved me

I don’t know why it is you cannot see

You left me holding to a dream

You left me poisoned with shame

 

Now I live alone beside a mirror

Nothing it all too clear

And you don’t ever know he’s here

You wouldn’t even care…. I know

You wouldn’t even care…. I know
