The history is deafening; the fiction will be true An alternate universe cracks and bleeds as I plead unto you No one understand me when I'm looking in your eyes No one understands you like I promise to try I promise to try There's a phantom of a kiss hiding somewhere on your lips And I can't understand why I haven't chased it out Haven't pried it from your mouth and proudly stood my ground I remember when things were less candid - Before the kiss firmly planted I don't think I'll ever understand it - I certainly never could've planned it When did the world turn so slanted? - How will I ever withstand it? I promise I won't take you for granted - I'm sorry for all the times that I've ranted Such a strange place we've landed - In love forever here we're stranded A sinner I'll be ever branded - For learning to drive left-handed The purple barely shows through anymore It's too bright now and it's too late to see the sun Red and yellow exist in memory and reflection only If only that were true - sunset on a fingernail The pen stutters in my fading fingers when there's too much red Red infesting the trinities of time Crimson Scarlet Rust covers all my clocks brittle and failed Fingers tied and painted ache in remembrance of sins 23 times replayed My mouth leaks lubricants unneeded at thoughts hidden beneath your sweater Stained red echoes of too early too soon too little too much too late too right tonight My car is filthy, you laugh, crime spattering sheepishly on every inch of the photograph The hair on your arms perks up at my approach A forest of delight I can't explore tonight - Maybe never again Not until the world grows empty and asks for more children Meantime, there are cats to pet and sins to count and stars to wish on And grey enough to coat the world in - To make it more mine To conceal the red; to conceal from the red the beauty and horror of love unbridled A clever thief am I Stealing free bread from the little red wagons of children too old to care Stealing the hearts from all the Angels too sad to fly Stealing language from the Gods to shower you with I'll never be clean again.
