Deadly Nightshade You Must Be My Calling

Subversive love what am I to you today Am I a rainbow disengaged? Am I the rain flowing into your drains? The tear that once burst from your eyes Swirled in your heart to no end, There is no end other than to be loved. Destabilizing love what am I to you tonight Am I land stripped back to smoke and flames A desert playing dune moving games Ah, am I a grain of sand slipping through your grip Am I an embolism nearing your heart? One that's about to burst if you struggle to be free. Love what if I shiver in my bones Will there be any tremors or earthquakes Further on down the road in the dark. Will there be any thunder and lightning And wind-whipping frozen hail Again up against the gothic bedroom curtain glass. Love what if I want you to blow my world apart Will you love me when nothing else grows? Deadly nightshade you must be my calling. Oh, love and death is a confirmation Of all my ongoing misery and blues It's an affirmation I'm still alive and loving you. Kissing you in a flowerbed Shaking the dust off the architrave Not the grave just yet.
