In Lieu of Flowers

Feel her swell inside my head
Spirit can I trust you yet?
Walking to the car
Ringing through my heart
Were the words I'd never say to you

The winter is between your teeth
And sleeps where you bite down on me
How fast the feeling grows
From a place I'm scared to go
Covered in a darkness all your own

Fake a smile and dry lips bleed
No way to hide my feelings
How fast our love has pulled
Itself to ritual
With no way to have the things it needs
