The Skeleton and The Stars
I saw you locked bones
between hate and all you promised
forgetting all the blood-inked stories
you once wrote in my name
born where beauty lies with the one who is beheld
and ending with a letter
a single name
all for me
& I never knew the one
she who breathes where I once breathed
she whom held the stars in her eyes
the bones whom leap from her skin
the one far greater than I
& I saw she broke your bones
just to escape your hold
leaving flowers by a grave you've always feared
How is it to be cold?
How is it to feel alone?
to lay where I once lied
to die where I once died
You sought the greatest treasures in the world
all for your hungry eyes
& you chose the stars
the fickle light that burns
out
to temporary to turn out
good
& I'll sit upon my throne
just so see you fall
knowing all to well
I never needed you at all
