If You Won't Burn With Me Then I'll Burn Alone - The Oval Portrait

This is far too soon.

.for another uncoiled tear to mend itself

How «soon is now», when i repeat a distant following of words.

.that i’m reluctant to speak outloud

While she’s trying and pushing.

.for consistency, for once

Sunshine

Whose darkness fades to light?

Bringing about dreams that don’t seem «right.»

When this time comes, you’ll say «sunshine.»

The next time.

That i try.

It makes no difference.

Only in consequence

How many times have i watched you die.

.and you’ll say.

SUNSHINE!
