Still for You

Naked at the bottom of the well
Only warmth the lie that I still tell
You’ll bring me home soon
There’s an April moon tonight
You took my life in our unconscious
And made this crude attendant goddess
I dreamed surviving wouldn’t end us
And now I rummage here in the remains
For who I am without you
Even as my straining eyes don’t see
Wrinkles as emerged humanity
You’re my one true love
I’m your mourning dove for good
You took my life in our unconscious
And made this crude attendant goddess
I dreamed surviving wouldn’t end us
And now I rummage here in the remains
For who I am without you
Any semblance of worth in me
Any good thing I’ll ever be
Is still for you
My captor, you
Tormentor, you
Pretender, you
