See Me, Save Me

If you see me
It would only be
A smear on bloodstained window

If you were me
I would hope to be
A savior for a fee

Saving me
So lavishly
From the world that won't stop killing me

I hope we leave
In fashion bereaved
That would be for all eternity

Pray for me
In hope I might see
The gold around your face

So that your peace
Will not be brief
Or alone upon this reef

I hope to be
What you see
So to love you in my sleep
