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
