we sigh
they see us smiling not
confuse it with the numbness we
feign
crystalline castles only we know
to be plastic
we sigh
for we cannot breath nothings
or else the disillusionment of
inanity
consumes us
we sigh
the curse of our kisses
the chaos of our creations
lose themselves in the swell of
flooding tears
we sigh
scared empty children groping for
dawn
hopeful enough to seek the light
tender enough to feel the darkness
stabbing
we sigh
restless in our ambitions for
purity
itching for embraces of
deliverance
shuffling our feet to keep from
stagnating in the purgatory of 'reality'
we sigh; we feel
we feel
beauty en soi cradling us
in the arms of now
held in each other's compassion we
return home
we fade into ourselves, each
other, this night of love
we feel; we sigh
we feel
napoleonic superheroes with
caresses we kiss
floating each other on trust alone
soaring into uncharted realms of
being
we feel
alone we sign heavenly accolades
to deaf stars
crying with rage we cannot breathe
sanctified in unity we are
blasphemers of solitude and her solemnity
we feel; we sigh
voice1: we can't go on
voice 2: so we go on
voice1: they feel we can't go on
voice2: we go on we feel
voice1: they sigh
voice2: we feel
voice1: they can't go on
voice2: we feel and we go on
voice1: go on
voice2: feel.
