See how the alchemist works—
Side by side, we’re turned to gold.
And the glow fades from what once did shine
bright within our eyes.

I’ll hang my greatest treasure in a locket around my neck
until the weight becomes too much for my shoulders.

Your arms around me—--- God, it's cold in bed.
Chantilly lace in place of your skin.
Your fears appeared as words: 

“Will we stay like this forever?”
Well my love, you surely will.
You’ll lay beside another with my silhouette.
You'll hang your masterpieces in galleries, framed
impressions of that world where you 

Were lying next to me, curled hyacinthine 
in silent reverie- I’ll meet you there somehow.
Please try to just believe
that to live authentically 
is not at all obscene, my love… 

“Will we stay like this forever?”
My love, we surely will. 
We'll lay beside another with our silhouettes.
They'll hang your masterpieces in galleries, framed
impressions of that world, where you—- 

— no it’s a key change.
okay, here we go!

You were lying next to me, curled hyacinthine.
I tried so hard to speak, but couldn’t make a sound.
Come find me in the leaves, beyond society’s 
fears of being free 
to love who we love.

(find me in between dreams and reality…)
