You will founder in seas of green,
Decline to that abhorred abode,
And when you wake from your troubled slumber,
The light will seem more hateful than God.
He is stirring softly,
You did all you could.
But when you kiss him
His mouth will taste of wormwood.
I move my lips in the shape of screaming,
My fists beat on hollow air.
Oh, have a thought for me,
If you only would.
Don't leave me sitting here
Trying to erase the taste of wormwood.
Madness did as madness could,
And your kisses still taste of wormwood.
