Other Words
by Charon Kepler
The price we pay
For the life we led
-And so they say
Beast on the outside screaming
On the inside howling
Sending cryptic messages
Through the clitter-clatter
Of tearing claws
In vulnerable flesh
You called me pansy
'Cause I was darkness and brightness
If you could only see your own light
And the beauty of your tears
If you could only see that I only live
In your shadow
If you should loose your grip
and fall
I would catch you
If you should crush me with your weight
I would die for you
'Cause you have brought beauty and light to me
And I would fade away like a flower
If you went away
If you wasn't here anymore
The world would be silent and dark
Just like a pansy
But your angel here has dirt on her wings
And her halo is made of agony and pain
Her children are dark and dirty
Like hateful words
'Cause she is darkness
And only her skin is snowy white
I love you, dear
Of all my heart
Never believe anything else
I wrote it in the sand in september
I love you
And then the words disappeared
I was nothing for you, dear
Never say anything else
I followed you with my eyes, dear
Every day, every hour
You didn't meet my eyes
You just lit another cigarette
For you I was a raven in a storm, my love, invisible
I was outside your window, dear
But you never let me in
Never in
Never into the warmth
You never told me that you even liked me
Every raven in a storm will leave, dear
Last year you kissed be goodbye
Even though you didn't know, didn't care
These are my last words to you, my love
Before I leave and find another window
So goodbye, king nothing
