Know Your Time

Bedding down in bridal love
Blinding wet and silver cloaked
But the pills are not enough
To unfeel it

Swim the water livid blue
See the spotlight follow you
Just like you wanted

A shadow world appears
The surgeon's hand is pale
The mirror covered widow black
To protect the past

By the water lily pool
Where the stars have never moved
And the treasure buried you
Breath frozen

In the aftermath of love
What there is is what we've got
To gift the boatman

So who will know my life
And who will bear my time
And who will find the light, such light
And who will know my time

Your memoirs
You always starred
The pages turned
You loved to serve

They're better now
You left the wheel
You lost your nerve
You lost your nerve

It is complete
The ink is dry
You writer
