Venus Mourning - The Autumn Offering

Leaving trails of my convictions

Your words eat me alive

Or merely kill my will to go on

Her sweat

It tastes of contempt

How I hate you for your beauty

Your lips taste of poison

Breathing lies on to your skin

Rip me open

In moments of epiphanies

I won’t condemn you tonight

Nothing I have ever said to you

Could bring me back to your life

So Ill re-collect the lies you whispered

My hearts on fire

So discarded

Thrown to the starving wolves

By the hand of Venus

I should have left you there

Too pretty to waste

Too soft on my lips

Too sweet not to taste

I can’t see it as anything but tragic

Drenched in sorrow

Lighting highway fires

I’m tasting dissonance inside a moment

I’d cut out my heart and bleed without yo

All we love will leave us

All that’s gold will rot and wither

As we melt away to nothing

We won’t be remembered

In her eyes are dying embers

So many tears for fading beauty

When my hand was reaching

I could count on her for giving in

Why can’t you just forgive me?

Rip me open

In moments of epiphanies

I won’t condemn you tonight

Nothing I have ever said to you

Could bring me back to your life

As I was the seasons

Changing

The dying leaves fall without you
