Beyond these eyes, wade nightmares yet to come. 
My innocence is nothing but a veil of equivocation. 
Only whores wear black, and offer red roses at funerals. 
This opiate offered me serenity, when I was on my knees. 
Once it was so beautiful. 
But like a dying lilac; the beauty soon turns black. 
I was lonely, but I'm not alone anymore. 
My vein rivers of pollution, injected harmony. 
I no longer need such a longing kiss from your parched lips. 
I can reach the stars from here. 
Something I've never been offered before. 
And your desire wanes when you have a universe to discover. 
And pleasures other to be had. 
I'm slowly dying now, a pleasant death. 
I can see them coming; three birds flying across the darkened sky, 
this...a murder of crows.
