Eyes Adjust

Dearly departed, little harlot, I bid you farewell
Hatred obsessing me, possessing me
I no longer dwell
A witless life lesson I never could have learned alone
Alone is where the heart is, in that I’ve found a home

The thought of love lost kept me awake
And every other fuck-up I made
Said I never wanted to sleep again, and now my eyes adjust

Your embrace is a pitiful as the withering of your soul
Fiending for acceptance, searching for repentance
I know your sins my dear, I know just what you fear
A love not eternal but lust so infernal
All men are your toys and your presence is poison

The thought of love lost kept me awake
And every other fuck-up I made
Said I never wanted to sleep again, and now my eyes adjust

Concubine, you won’t prevail
Carnal plague, you have failed

From grace I’ve watched you fall
The time for therapy in sleep in gone
Arm in arm, we met our armageddon
Feeding our disease as we come to understand them
You were my uprising and my greatest mistake
Pockets full of memories I’d like to thank you for
Live your life and fulfill your lust
I see what I need and now my eyes adjust
