Black Eye Shadow on the Night Stand Table

The breath between the lips
So hot, soft and sweet
Whistles us a tune
Mind’s birth from its womb
Care to take a trip
Lend an ear and bite a lip
Speak nothing, not a sound
Feet planted, concrete in the ground

Lift up your eyes
Celebrate the night
And let the dead
Rummage through your head

And there’s a distant fading sound
Echoing out from the past
Taking you by the hand
It’s trying to bring you back
Its pulled so long
And now
I’m afraid
You’re gone

So long
Lift up your eyes
Celebrate the night
And let the dead
Rummage through your head

There’s not one thing we have not spoken
All the sounds reached our ears
When we were awoken
And by the time
We say good bye
It’ll be to late
As you’re past the gate
And as you walk out
Please try not to shout

Lift up your eyes
Celebrate the night
And let the dead
Rummage through your head

And there’s a distant fading sound
Echoing out from the past
Taking you by the hand
It’s trying to bring you back
Its pulled so long
And now
I’m afraid
You’re gone

So long
Lift up your eyes
Celebrate the night
And let the dead
Rummage through your head

I can tell...

I can tell there's a story behind this write, and it obviously means something to you.
you let off a sense of no closure and the write seeps regret and pain....some one left and you were not ready for them to go even though you probably seemed fine at the time or acted like you didnt care that much.....but it stayed with you always and this write reflects your feelings so well.....I could be totally wrong but either way, it was great and very deep for the reader....peace

With every write I've posted, there was something left missing from the picture, that would be some one reading it and going to its core to understand it. Thank you. Simply saying "spot on."

For all it's worth...
