This cacophony, our life

You kiss my hand, I bite your faith 

All the while we bleed, we die.

Our dissonant smiles, lies,

You leave my life, I dream the now

Agnostic disclosures to which I vow.

Hopeless begging to wrong god

No sacrifice suffices.

Let me depart from the blinding light.

No crying, no mercy intended, delight?

In your science, no space for my ancient desire.

You let me drown in that knowledge of mine.

Struggle to hug, to hurt

Torture in kisses, in words

Bleeding out with time 

The end of our embrace is nigh.

Your silence that kills and seals

Faith of departures, farewell

Empty hearts, cold hands

Relieving the promises with lights.

Let me go, no mercy is asked

Keep me alive, no prayer is sung

Hard waters going to opposite ends

Forgetting the delicate thread keeping the line.

And the silence is here

You there, the distance ajar

No tears cried, no heaven’s delight 

No pleasures or triumphs to give us the chance.
