This is a song that I wrote a couple years ago, and just found. It's the sort of poetry that I used to write, somewhat jolting and surreal... but here goes.
a thousand tears (in) green apple seas
he wept, he stumbled on his knees,
my son, my only son,
i love you / want you / need you just to be
a sacrifice to those i love /
i want / i need you just to be
the one, my lover and my friend,
cascading tears that never end
for where you are and what you've been,
parading free as i was then,
those whispered words you never heard
taught all i needed to be sure,
my friend, i love you, you're the one,
the world will never understand,
(the) parading masses (have) never been
in love / in darkness, on their knees
show where they are is, who you are,
turn from your past, get on your feet,
it's what you've always meant to me,
the world, a shining star is what you'll be,
when all goes dark, the way / the truth / my light,
(what) the stars in your eyes mean to me,
my way / my truth / my light,
it's what i've needed to be free...
how long will it take?
i'll never walk away.
how long will it take?
standing oceans sweeping still,
a martyr on a battered hill,
the soul of stone melts in your hands
with love and trust you've got until
you break me / make me, as i am
is everything you've asked for, all of me,
of tears and sorrows broken down,
i love you, it seems you'll always be
the one i love, you sacrificed
what you hold dear will not suffice
you wash the stains, the muddied soil,
the world surrounds you, mortal coils,
escape is never understood
until you've tasted bitter words
upon your lips, your lingering tongue
speaks words i hang onto,
every moment is with you
in dreams i've seen that will come true,
your lips linger light on mine,
my light, will you be mine?
how long will it take?
i'll never walk away.
how long will it take?
