Dark Red Soul

In the darkest of nights
deep down in the valley
it's just a crack in your broken-hearted scene

Stay afloat in your eyes
gently tugging memory
your dark red soul remains uncharted by me

I'm torn
like scar tissue
holding out for you
Like a storm,
blood rushes on
till the blush of dawn
Forlorn,
like scattered poem pages
this fire of love rages
on and on and on
for you

Worth their weight in gold
emotions like gravity
so steely-eyed, I will be crucified for you

Gazes run oh so cold
traded in this clarity
for a little pride I cannot hide from view

I'm torn
like scar tissue
heart of the issue is
I'm born
to be the number one fool
to be dyed in the wool
Words form
it seems every single time
they stutter blindly into rhyme
but I'll sing on and on
for you

Crescent moon,
light up her room
slit this skin,
let my songs pour in
to conquer her whole
deep in the abyss of her dark red soul

Deep blue heart
dark red soul
tattered maps and charts
just so I can hold
your magnet skin
bust me back open
take what you want
leave what you don't
but forever you'll haunt
these white wonder bones
wide wonder,
my heart has blundered
into a friend zone of desaturated bliss,
diving off the edge of lips never kissed,
Octobergirl of unholy gypsy red,
it could be said
that your existence is the compass
a gentle way to save my ass
loneliness has dominated me
but I know I know you're all I need
you're all I'll ever ever
need  

In the darkest of nights
you and I could fit just right,
it's just a crack of sunlight in my broken-hearted life...

I'm torn
like scar tissue
stuck deep into you
like a thorn
blood rushes on
till the end of song
forlorn,
like a scattered poet soul
this love leaves me full
over and over and over
for you

Words form
seems like every single time
they stutter nervously into rhyme
but I'll sing on and on and on
and on for you
for you
for you
for you

Oh and you're all I'll ever ever
ever need.

This is intense, but love is like that sometimes.

Like the rolling stones sing it,
"you can't always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes,  you just might find, you get what you need"  

I really enjoy your song writing, soul drifter. Hope the New Year brings you peace and much love.
