bygone (colab w/ Anita Mac Auslan)

by Morgan D Hafele

If I leave too soon,
well, that's just my prerogative.
Timing's never really been
a strength of mine, anyway.

And she told me the stars
Are nothing but liars
Anyway, hiding their deepest
Secrets behind that oily black.

I want nothing more
Than to disappear under a
Velvet blanket
And wrap myself in liars.

While you do nothing but
Murder my self confidence
With accusations
And pretty little I love yous.

She saw through your deceit
Before I even knew your name.
I couldn’t taste the poison you fed me.
I took your bait.

I’ve come to see the truth
In the sky and in you.
The stars are nothing but liars
And you’re burnt out…

Just like them.

A disturbingly dark but very well written piece Morgan and Anita. It never fails to amaze me how the human mind interprets different stimuli.

Aww, Morgs... I miss our mid-day chats while I sit in my car at the laundromat. I think we did good... ;o)
