Lovesick Monster

The intersection of your words and mine
Bustles with half-truths and empty eyes

Give me all of you or give me none
Together through this burning sky we'll run

Into the gauntlet that awaits
A lovesick monster's china plates

It devours us with razor sharp teeth
That rip through our hearts as our hands meet

The screen fades to black as our screams cease
We spiral downward into the belly of the beast

We prepare to die in our newfound home
I'm glad we're finally together and alone

Lady in Waiting

Every morning I wake and--
Paint my face and--
Close my eyes and--
Wait...

Every evening I pause and--
Remove all the paint and--
Discard all the skin and--
Wait...

Every day--
Every hour--
Every minute--
Every second--
I wait...

But you never come.
