the golden wedding of sorrow

		wrap your face in prayers
		the ones you sent in dust
		and know they never reached me
		and know they never reached me
		every blemish helps endear 
		in this earthbound axis of stifling air
		the stifling air
		
		in this golden wedding of sorrow
		in this golden wedding
		
		blind and bleeding or merely spent
		we returned to the source
		to wait on our dream
		and a function disappears
		and a reason disappears
		and a meaning disappears
		all memories scream
		
		in this golden wedding of sorrow
		in this golden wedding
		
		black tears caress male things
		but my caresses only sour things
		at the dawn of the dusk of hope
		remember me as pain
		remember me again and again
		
		wrap your face in prayers
		the ones you never sent
		and know they never reached me
		and know they never reached me
