Myoclonus

The sun is rising up
Your lover says her goodbyes
You do not open your eyes
Your pale blue blood shot eyes
‘Because you don’t want to cry
The way she made you last night
Last night
It ended up in a fight
That almost ended her life
It almost ended last night
Dreams of love lasting all time

But cold steel
Turned it into something more
Now it’s bleeding
Rusting somewhere on the floor
Cold steel
Breaking hearts just like the war
Cold steel
Didn’t watch her
Walking out the door

The sun is resting its eye
Its bloodshot eye
The cops are wondering why
All you said was goodbye
Goodbye written on the your wall
By your hand
As you handled the fall
Your eyes are open wide
With nothing left to hide
But you hide
With one hand clutching the knife
The knife
The knife still lost her a life
Your lover walks through the door
The cops question her over all
They ask her if you were friends
Her wife
She told them you were her wife
“The trouble and strife
We argued all last night
Ended up in a fight
She held a knife to my breast
My pale marbled breast
As she tore at my dress
Screaming she wanted a child
A child
She turned into something wild
I left this morning
Thought I heard her sigh ‘no more’

All day I thought of that knife
That knife
It could have taken my life”

Cold steel
Stood between you like a whore
You had her but you wanted more
Cold steel
She felt so cold in the night
You cursed the gods every night
They said you love wasn’t right
It wasn’t right

Still you longed for the sound
The sound of children at play
But you’re both wives
Pale and preened
Full of lust and with your wiles
You could see for the light
Didn’t admit as you prayed
God doesn’t make us that way

Two women passed through the door
One dead
The other lies in the morgue
