Strangled arms of every tree fall closer to matted dreams dipping in a frenzy for my soiled wishes clogging the skyline of you and I You survived the suffocation of dizzy heights Arms open wide for the world to spit you into recognition just close enough to dusky pink for me to smile at your setting behind the autumn lacklusture that failed to fill me in, fill me content Well I wish I could bend back my own creep like upturned palms to sunlight and never have met you to never have walked in the wind, motionless or heard you test the rain with the icicles of your voice for tasting is wanting all over again . . and you are branches below the cut-off, stooping to the dark with no cure. |
