Darling

In time color is leaving
Like a leak from infection foreign
Off the back of wounded passion
From the knife left lodged inside

And seen this negging road here
Again it breaks you, rapes you, needs you
In trenches of haunted rhetoric
Malfunctioned memory-out of battery

Then among the seeds they've sown
Our darkest dream realized
Looking back at us with starved eyes
The darling inside you.
