Through sunburned meadows

With trailing chains

And prowling shadow cats

A pale coat of glassy silver

Split light across the glade

In streams of painted moonlight

Where gentle petals waved

Soft insect voices

Rose as hymns

“Please love you

We promise to love you back

If we can give you everything

And take nothing you have left

Please love you

We promise to love you back

You will keep the best of it

And we will hold the rest”

They gave rise to dancers

With multicoloured skins

That taught me how to fly

“Please love you

We can give you everything”

“I don't deserve love

I carry this blame

It eats at my stomach

I'm always ashamed

Another round

With nothing to show

An eternal cycle

Learning nothing at all

Will I die before

I learn to let go?”
