we stole the light from your pupils [ dimming its glow with black earth ]
we took the breath from your lungs [ filling them with snow ]
[ we took you to a land of joy and blood,
sweet oblivion and hungry darkness,
plunging your soul into the forest floor,
mirages and colours,
delightful promises, sweet as honey ]
we stole a bright smile from your lips,
you disappear among hungry roots and whispering leaves,
reaching deep, feeding on your fear.
you love hands that sprinkle moon dust,
into your tired eyes.
