Lavender
Lavender
\r\nreturns to my consciousness by stealth
\r\nthe smell that lured me astray
\r\nthe paleness of my body
\r\nembraces that warmth
\r\nthat new warmth, from a distant sun
\r\nBehind those gates there's no one to tell
\r\nmy invisible trail
\r\nthe cleansing sleep is yet to come
\r\nIt's staring right back at me
\r\nthe oceans in my eyes lie still
\r\nInnocence
\r\nsilenced
\r\nDeceived
\r\ncannot grasp what has been poured into me
\r\nas they watch me on that screen
\r\nas they lure my lips to taste that kiss
\r\nI see love in you my sweet
\r\nI see love through you
\r\nsilenced
\r\nLavender
\r\nfilters through me as I recall
\r\nalienation, indifference
\r\nThis fate that has been laid upon me
\r\nI pray for stamina, for guidance
\r\nI pray for you my sweet
\r\nam I one of the beloved
\r\nthe wanted, the rejected
\r\nthe cynics, the pure:
\r\nThe beggars are the threats
\r\nwe'll suffer our demands
\r\nnot yet will the slaves of passion and hunger be set free
\r\nAs the sun awakes to meet its successor
\r\nthis work of art, this portrait
\r\nof what cannot be imagined
\r\nwill fade away
\r\nLavender
\r\n...returns to my consciousness by stealth
