Tonight I'm living
on the salt of my tears,
drinking the brine:
I am empty and burning
but my throat is too full to swallow.
-
I showed you the door and the mocking sky smiled down on me,
the stars dancing and whirling the blue,
as if to say
Look, we've found each other;
so what's your problem?
My problem is that I've never shined brightly enough
to be a star;
never loved life enough
to accept the burning end.
-
Tonight my skin soaks up regret like my eyes once soaked up beauty.
on the salt of my tears,
drinking the brine:
I am empty and burning
but my throat is too full to swallow.
