Sweethart

I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn

I lay with you so they won’t sink in their claws

I lay awake while the beasts and the whores

Are dancing in, dancing in

Dancing in the jaws of a landfill



Systematic in decay



I’m dying to feel what you feel now

You’ve already been such a sweetheart

And I know we all get scared

We all get scared

Too much head, but too little heart oh honey

I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey

Not meant to be this way



Lover, lover, lover you’ll never know

You’ll never know

Because, lover, lover breathing down my neck

Incendiary breath

And still my lover is a burden

Tell me something could you smell my fear?

As I lay there

Cringing on your bed



Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil

It’s just a fight, a futile fight to feel connected

I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn

Instead of tending to it’s prick I lay infected
