New Marks

Hold on
Wade into the night
Keep your eyes wide opened mind
She’ll catch you up in time
Don’t look
Don’t touch and agree
Abide by flesh that weakens you
Brittle bones and wretched whims

It’s not right
Bruised without a fight
Oh you silly fool you’re in love
You’re on your knees
You’re in love you’re on your knees

Submit
Clear out and forget
Loosen strings and pull the threads
Weave yourself anew
Only
Time is on its own
And yet we long for it to slow
To hold and let us go
Allow us space

It’s not right
Bruised without a fight
Oh you silly fool you’re in love
You’re on your knees
You’re in love you’re on your knees
You’re in love you’re on your knees

New marks
Breaks the skin of old hearts
Wound in some distinction
To take away the torment
Just to
Remind us of our senses
And rid us of our lessons
Bite the hand that’s given over and over again
