Pavane for a Dead Prince -

My sleep atrocity

Had to be

Explained to me

I’m a party

I’m a body

She had to push so that you could breathe

She won’t hate me

She wouldn’t waste the energy

In her eyes I would decay slowly

I corpse the couch supine

Don’t fucking talk to me

Words are finally empty

My sleep atrocity

Had to be

Explained to me

And with an apology piss stream

One cannot bleach out a memory

I’m thinking of all the things

I’d never want to tell you

I’m thinking of all the things

I’d never want to tell you

But I promise I won’t stay in there for long
