Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
I've tasted the honey and the lye
As he spread colored
wings across my eyes.
I've waited in towers
And wandered the
hours,
Clutching my bottle of Time.
I chased him through fogs and my dreams,
And walked with
him down dirty city streets.
In every pane of window glass,
I saw my
future turn to the past.
He took me to his warmth, you know,
Only to leave me in
the snow.
Often my mind was blank and shaken.
I always felt the pain of
need,
And watched my heart slowly bleed.
I shivered and glowed for him,
Bought and slyly stole for
him,
Hung on empty words for him,
For him, for him, for him.
