Hindsight, Unrequited.

Planets to suns, moths to light, you to me

Eyes blind to each canary warning sign

Hearts fumbling through the hands of gravity.

.

Wade through crepuscular obscurity

To hazed horizons where the fires align

Planets to suns, moths to light, you to me.

.

Enamored, our hell fires seem to be

The blooming embers of the late benign

Hearts fumbling through the hands of gravity. 

.

Throughout the throes of curiosity

I traced the burns along your docile spine.

Planets to suns, moths to light, you to me.

.

We’ll take each brazen opportunity

To stroke our thinning plaster on fault lines.

Hearts fumbling though the hands of gravity

.

And in the search for love I can’t define

I’d trade each of your suffering scars for mine.

Planets to suns, moths to light, you to me

Hearts fumbling through the hands of gravity.
