don't forget my name
for i'll be coming round again.
blank faces in blank landscapes
and green hills and pastures wait
for my skin tight meditation
(at which i am incapable)
so i return to self mutilation
of which i know too well.
so hold me up older wise one,
hold me up to your shoulder
break the icicles over my head
rid me of this boredom
and if i die for you will you die for me too?
sun drops on my skin today
kiss me and say that you love me the same
as you did on that day
that we sat there on swings until
some time in the morning
when the sunlight killed something
i think i knew when you warned me
but i still cut off your mouth,
and you cut off mine too,
and i wept for you i wept for you
but for me you weren’t able to
and now i just want to die
but i would miss those warm aestival nights.
so hold me up older wise one,
hold me up to your shoulder
break the icicles over my head
break the icicles.
and if i die for you will you die for me too?
if i die for you
will you die for me too?
