persephone / old rough draft

12/9/09

i stood in the center of a cold eggshell dream
wearing weathered lungs to speak
i guess i just don't know how to hold a smile
i will leave all the ships to sink

and you were all alone under a sea-swelled tide
blankets of hands waving goodbye
i felt so ancient and untied,
pressed in pages thrown aside

i was not ashamed

when you're left on hooks
like your cold weather clothes
the years just pass you by

i'll flicker like a falling
star smeared in the sky
and nothing will mean anything this time

i am not ashamed
