Hot winds of summer extinguish 
a wavering spirit 
yellowed from time 
and pain 

And in that moment-- 
a grain of sand on 
the shores of Eternity 

My soul drown in the 
deapths of your eyes 

I lost a part of me forever 
But awakened that 
terrible demon-- 
Insecurity 

Promises flung on the breath 
of indifference 

Secrets abandoned for 
vultures to devour 

Devoted never and always 
trapped between 
reality and a child-like dreaming 

You promised me nothing 
and everything 
and this moment 

Allow me to sleep now 
And permit simple dreams 
to die 

Let our icy love 
of cold blue flame 
that flickers in 
the shadow of truth 
blow out 

In silence, mutter your true lies again, 
and let me believe 
in love 
for now
