Alliance

under the horizon the birds are singing,
the hole in my heart is only beginning
to tear at my body, my hands and eyes;
a blackened cloud that is covering my skies.
don't you see that the summer has passed,
the sunlight has beckoned, and fell too fast?
my eyes have blackened over the past few days,
i've been looking for you, and i've found other ways
to hide what's beneath; like a painted smile
that will fade as the wind blows, after a while.
