Sever Paroles

at bedside to some bride
waiting for dawn
in the dark

kissing, screaming
nothing reminds you
we dreamed of this taking
now you are mine to--

pleased, bereaved
still and forlorn
brings forth misgivings
go on, i'll see you no more

did you call to offer
pretense that you cared
leaving me the markers
did you fall
did you falter
in your love at all of a dog?

kissing, screaming
nothing reminds you
we dreamed of this taking
now you are mine to--

once awakened, forsaken
came the morn
