Desolation
Closer, but never close
Warmer, still freezing-cold
Wishing you’d at least give me
Something to grab hold
Drifting further from moonlight
Lost in the void between stars
Blameless, light as a stone
Faithful, sleeping alone
Forced to go through the motions
Pious on my own
Drifting further from moonlight
Lost in the void between stars
Holding up a mask
Rotting from the inside
Whited sepulcher slowly crumbling
Certain there’s no way
A facade can shield me
From the prejudice of your ideology
Reaping tares I’ve sown
Exhuming mounds of blackened bones
Desperate yet out of breath
Still hoping you haven’t left
Drifting further from moonlight
Lost in the void between stars
Holding up a mask
Rotting from the inside
Whited sepulcher slowly crumbling
Certain there’s no way
A facade can shield me
From the prejudice of your rigid ideology
Lost in a labyrinth of smoke and mirrors
Cursing the vapors for losing you
