White Flowers
Location
God knows what your hiding behind those brown remorseful eyes
You lied and cheated, shamelessly mistreated but to me it is no big surprise
Light up, light up your coffin nail and burn away your guilt
As I lie here in this luke-warm water hoping our love can be rebuilt
Your ventricles are occupied with whiskey and cheap wine
Your lungs are filled up with nicotine and blood with straight white lines.
As you float away unconscious drifting out onto cloud nine
My heart unravels on the floor like a worn out ball of twine
The day has come where you can’t be heard through the cypress and the stain
We all stand huddled, dismal and muddled, with shrieks we must refrain
Black dresses, white flowers, embracing the showers of the freezing icy rain
No one knows but I the love we shared woven with all insufferable pain
