Tell Me Not, This Supposed Love

Tell me not with parted lips,that you love so dearly these delicate roses. Force not upon bare flesh, a cold so deep it crystalizes, and shatters delicate buds... for this was most pleasant.

Tell me not with parted lips,
that you love so dearly
these delicate roses.
Force not upon bare flesh,
a cold so deep
it crystalizes
and shatters delicate buds…

Then, tell me not with parted lips,
that you've held so dearly
those
newly dewed buds…
and though I know
that,
beyond a doubt,
that these newly misted flowers
are devalued, dreary, and dead,
before
apathetic eyes…
I cannot help but enjoy
this slow pain.

So, tell me not with parted lips,
that I was precious.
For
the more I hear,
the more I desire.
And the more I desire, the more frigid I become.
Thereupon,
becoming drenched so blue
in this searing yearning,
I allow efficient passage
for your
hungry winds.

Alas, tell me not with parted lips
that you cared.
For as I stand, as these roses stand
within your tempest,
we begin to wither away.

Displacing not our sweet scent,
but of the life that we gave…

I, on the other hand, no-longer provide to
another lie, another touch,
from a bode that's already dead.
Nonetheless,
I still can smile
for this
first was the most pleasant
one I'll ever receive.
