/Elevation of the grave/
/Elevation of the grave/
/Aligning the pore/
/Cradling the shadow you let fall to the floor, so telling of me/
/Preparation and control/
/Harbouring the remnants of your feint/
/A levelled rest/
/A constant presence forever evading my touch/
/A concentrated lapse/
/Acceptance of the act/
/Gravitate and crowd/
/Led from the corners of your keep/
/A persistent breath/
/A silent divide/
/Synchronised movements aid the capture of you/
/A broken retreat/
/Taken to heel/
/Consummation of flesh/
/And it would all seem so simple but for the lines on your face/
/To level and be/
/And to each a falling star/
/The fingers reap/
/Our eyes used to meet/
/Bridging the curve/
/We belong to your discarded lace/
Splitting the seams / Descending at pace
/Witnesses to the fall/
/Resting on the shoulders of the fragile host/
/Embraced in the damaged light/
/With kill/
/The wrists are let/
/Gently, once again/
/Folding in arcs, breaching to circle the pursuit/
/Recollections of unrest/
/I know who they are/
/The makings of the path/
/Depth born of restraint/
/Exposed nerves harbour sin/
/Cut/
/A sweet release/
/All movements are regulated to guard against reflections of the damage maintained within/
/Admission of the tract/
/Until the ashes drift/
/We have grown accustomed to your fear/
/Perception at cost/
/Only the beginning of your loss/
/Scattered across the divided remains of the face/
/In anticipation of return/
/A depth we call home/
/It is not yours to know/
/The constant remain/
/Taken by the severed reams/
/Devoted to the breaking of you/
/Setting the deck/
/Layering the wake/
/Gathering reflections in the dying sea/
/The remains are all/
My wrists / Your love
/Suspended in the constantly dying light/
/Fodder for the species/
/To continue would be to stop/
/Petal and Flesh/
/To be reborn as the rain falling down/
/Conceived in the dying night/
/Struggling to maintain the constant support of loss/
/We’ve populated these valleys with ghosts and fear/
/Learning to forget/
/This dance will continue long after we have left the floor/
/Running the channel between your blades/
/Before it moves beyond me/
/That room now inhabits you, and you take it with you everywhere you go/
Weakened / Pure
/All distances are measured in relation to your proximity to me/
Your body responds / Actions take shape
/The stem remains/
/The final feeling is fear/
/Cut me up and lay me in the sun/
Sin / Care
/My reach has been receding/
/A series of repetitions you never sense slow/
/Tender balance and warm decay/
/The fall isn’t yours to stop/
/I’ll inform your family if you’ll inform my friends/
/Sometimes i forget where i am/
/I’m losing you/
/Realisation is loss/
/An empty canvas on which to be/
You played your part / The stage was set from the start
/A cadence in which you both met/
/Biting the hook/
/It sets on no one but us/
/Your memory is never what is was/
/Too few/
/The breakers fray/
/Our ascent nothing more than a fall/
/A slow collapse from the start/
Find a nest / A place to rest
/It will stop just as It started/
/Entering my chest/
/Motion is not control/
The dust begins to settle / The skin i was in
