You buried yourself so deep
In the sands of the hourglass
That I keep on my nightstand
And your face has clogged the passage
So I never turn it over
You're dreaming forever
And I'm dreaming impossible dreams
Like I always do
But I still can't leave you
Gargoyle fated to watch from afar
You're my little Endymion
You're trapped in my jar
Slumbering sweetly, you never open your eyes to me
But mine are glued to you for eternity
Etched in my Mnemosyne, your skin's glowing phosphene green
Bubonic splotches from wherever my lips would lead
Stained glass eyes boarded up for the storm
That will never subside so I can never go home
Your fingers pressed into my eyelids
Gouge them out like stubborn pearl onions
Now I am photophobic
My skull is split into triptych
Is this aura your residue or am I just seasick
Scurvy can't touch me in this prickly reef
Animated corpses of cartoon carbon
With flotsam for tongues and jetsam for teeth
Barnacle brains all staining the harbor
Soggy bodies of lovers float bloated beneath
Smoking cancer flavored incense
I don't mean to incense you with my irreverence
I won't prevent your pursuit of happiness
But in my hourglass I will covet your homunculus
Ode to the Grecian urn where I will keep my ashes
I hope you snort lines of me in safe doses
I hope your nose bleeds anemic poppies and roses
I hope your brain's infected with my pestilence
But I'll be palatable in perpetual silence
I won't wake you with my moony mania
Exile myself to Transylvania
Where all the other leeches labor with languor
I am Selene devoid of serenity
I can only offer ocular salinity
Weeping for eyes that will never see me
