Swimming in defeat
Just overthinking
Suddenly
Press my lips to concrete
How sweet distaste
A copper coated serenade
Betrayed
By the dreams I've clutched
In vain
Insane
Trusting us
We've been waiting
Long before the rush
Odd hush
Inside too much
Love's a chore
Don't you want more
Or less?
Protest or protect
The elegance
Lazily my tomb reflects
A series of regret
Content with regret
As it allows me to forget
When the crowns fall
They roll off and reside
Lost beneath these golden orange sheets
Knowing us
We've been waiting
Long before the rush
Odd hush
Inside too much
Love's a chore
Don't you want more?
Unless
My breath
Steps toward death
