With You No More

2313epiphany

I once believed in you

Believed your foolish lies 

Ignored your wildfire sighs

Believed the bricked asylum 

I now barely recognise 


As my home, my safe

As a freeing, guileless place


You wielded a power so powerful,

It made you kneel and obey

But like a sorcerer or a priest or king,

Or a princess’ happy ending

You’d pray the evil away


Though, it stuck with you through your highs and your lows

Gave you more than I ever could


So, I watched as they took the blade out,

I watched as the monitor beeped

‘There’s nothing we can do,’ they said

Drowning in hot, wet cement

I take back my seeds you reaped


How do you feel now, now that it’s all gone?

Do you feel the sting? The crack? The slowing of the heart?


I once believed in you, my darling Judas;

Believed your empyrean vice

Until your despotic intentions came and saved the day

Until your decorated lyrics vapourised in flames

Oh, what a noble surprise?
