Calling names

Pawing eyes

Salt waters stung these broken lips

Vapor rims the skies worn edge,

pouring on some foreign land

A smouldering orange kisses the torn horizon

That blue above,

mocking me

The city purrs,

Pulling on these swollen eyes

They take the first step outside

What sun, so soon, can shine?

What sky can sing so sweet a song?

What day lives for all but you?

Simple's gone

That life is dead

Brandished rays burn my tongue

Bitter laced sweet sodden days
