We Were Only

We were only special friends

Who were fated from the end

To replay a tryst of crimes

With our hands in pockets thin-

Ly veiled eyes

Left for leadened cries

We were only in the lee

Of an older time of life

Lying next to something bright

With indifference so

You could take my hand

Wait another limb

We were only left to see

What could shape another night

If our time could newly fly

Past the haze of your insight

Full of recourse

Laughter past the torch

In the silence of your night

After lowering the signs

Of the half you had in store

All in mist and understretched

Your fable's thin

Wake me up again

We were only special friends

Scratching hard to make amends

With the pupils on our eyes

Contact tracing out your lies

Away again

Feign another's sin
