What Should But Did Not Die

I make images of you

Ideal more than true

I glue photos on my wall

Ladder bound to fall

And now seeing you again

Will it ever end?

Here I've no way to deny

What should but did not die

Dark of day and light of night

O you t s I d e I n s I d e o you t

Perfume circling around my brain

Draws me in again

Hopeless, helpless soul unchained

I succumb again

Come to me and make me blind

Dark-eyed dream of mine
