Anothe Verse Of The Razor Blade Blues

Vague memory
of unearthing
juliettes bones

Of my torn bleeding hands
Clawing deep into the earths womb

Of placing the bones of sacred lover
Upon the altar of broken hearts

A prayer spoke in silence
On a long lost
Lonesome winter night

When I was still young
And hope filled

When I still believed fate
And destiny were romantic
Eternal

When I wrote poems about the beauty
I found in wilting roses
And decaying buildings

When the razor blade blues first started playing

A lifetime ago
When I was a different person
One who I only remember vaguely

Were those my hands
that clawed maniacally
Thru frozen earth?

Was it my lips that whispered that long ago prayer?

I can't remember the words that were spoken
Only the taste of a long lost lovers sweat
Sung in my head like the lyrics of a song
