Everlasting Ataraxis

[Mr E Nigma]

One night in a somber tragic state
You stumbled down the sidewalk looking for my face
A lingering expression of lifelessness
And blood coming from this
Your heart

A shrill at my step
Your empty face had kept
That smile I love
Killing on your face
Killing for my embrace

And when I looked at you
It would make the glitter in your eyes
Dance like fireflies.

And when I touched your skin
A surge like wildfire
Would burn within.

And when I kissed your lips
A poison running deep
Would be the only thing to keep... you alive.

Stagnant, death will not mar your soul
Everlasting, that smile seared in my thoughts
And within it, the image of your face
Animates in my mind

Unobtrusive, I could never bring myself
To pain my eyes from leaving your gaze.
You used to cradle that thought,
Held it, fragile as a vase.

And when I looked at you
It would make the glitter in your eyes
Dance like fireflies.

And when I touched your skin
A surge like wildfire
Would burn within.

And when I kissed your lips
A poison running deep
Would be the only thing to keep... you alive.
