Our lasting hope was lost at sea
Mourning stars giving way to skies of misery
To cure this broken little race
We’d need a fix stronger than anything -
And everything, you gave.
I am ignited; illuminate the air in effigy
Dearly departed, bequeath to us the wisdom that we seek
I found new purpose in your wake
Benighted as we were
Fleeing the provenance we’d made
But the wolves wait at the door
How will I circumvent your ghost
When I’m longing for the undertow?
Save your breath, contextualize a sense of self-control
Lay to rest the feelings I so long for you to know
You’d have me only for yourself
But the ending for my odyssey exists with someone else
A pendulum weighted with lust (rust, trust)
Every revolution made; another ransom left in dust
Come as a beggar or a thief
Beg, cheat, or steal to ease your need
For a temporary hush to the loudness of this love
Deliver us
Deliver us.
