Words For Friends

I washed down this key with my love 

And walked for miles to loose my mind

But, this safe is full and this secret is too strong

I speak slander words and play the fool to kill the hunters

But it’s fall

and the bullets slice the leaves, causing me to gasp,

trying to find a route to escape my saviors

Because I am a deer falling from fear

and they are hungry; I’ll feed them

I have been stalking the night, and it knows

Death is stalking me and I cover it from cold

My thoughts are pillowed and I am in love for seconds

Thinking it’s an end

Though I see through this misery of illusion 

Feeling my thoughts weep,

Knowing those seconds death is my closest friend,

And realizing I’m happy

I’ll smile and look in her eyes, as if I finally mean it 

She’ll take her time and sing to me,

Thinking she will rescue my sins, even for a brief moment of time

But I found my God

And I shattered my father’s lies, and kiss the family for waking me from dreams

Because death is my closest friend and I’m happy
