angel, why am I so blind? the room: sweat pouring, eastern incense warm red embers within amber flesh slithering naked across a thousand blades ...across a thousand blades I hold you gently, your eyes so far away searching for your justice searching for your innocence lost as a child adrift on a lonely sea ...on a lonely sea burn my memory, burn my outline the tears scream to scar your unpierced flesh shattered mirrors reflecting back your face "let your defenses fall" your candles never burned me the ashes fall to the ground ...as you try to pierce my poisoned flesh as I try to pierce your tortured heart
