Specter of sun
Sliver of moon
Glistening speck
Celestial lagoon
Chills down my neck
Like the shot of a gun
Fleeting and young
Gone far too soon.
Dark, Different:
beautiful means alone
black shiny paint
eyelids of smoke and sky
laughs fast, beautiful, alone
muddy feet in satin shoes
dark, different world
dark, different dream
boys who tell stories
father who watches
whole world in love
dark, different girl
dark, different dream
