every morning staring at you
feels like another life
another time, another hour
who are you this time
you've been torn and tortured
by a host of heavenly birth
your tawdry disposition
keeps you going back to her
like asteroidea you return
your pale features shine as stars
your moonlit spark of divination
reincarnates all of your faults
as you move and give me shivers
knowing no one can know my thoughts
and I turn to you in earnest
hoping not to break away and flee
I can see you in every image
sound and every breath I breathe
like asteroidea you emerge
shimmering beauty never leaves
you haunt me from the bottom
you swim back up for tea
you seduce another mistress
you are not interested in me
torn and burned and tattered
remains show back in force
nightmares overrun the ocean
I'll meet you with a thirst
bergamot and lilac
soften the details of our lives
and we repeat every iniquity
when there are no tears left to cry
like asteroidea you grow stronger
staring back into my eyes
