Placing The Pennies On Closed Eyes

the eulogy
of our love eternity
today we shut its
still, unblinking eyes
with a wave of
a hand

a command
i understand

goodbye
to those precious
hours of light

and flawless
in the dark again
i hurt myself trying to fit
inside that casket you
made for me
buried in that dresser
drawer beside your bed

your a living lie
inspired by the
truth of untruthfulness

believing the things
you see and read
they're too easy
to regret

leaving you helpless as
a baby hidden in
a blanket
on the churches steps

but
when your alone
you atone
when your alone
you atone

but not tonight
surrounded
by friends

when your alone
you will know
when your alone
you'll know
it's always going to be
like this
