Regretfully Indifferent

No Longer

I applaude your innocence
While a careless caress touches your brow
Please leave by daylight
For the sun fears to see us lying here
Flee quickly from my love
As this love can consume
My tears are covered with dew
Dissembling the loss that decided their existence
Escape before I notice, my love
Before my soul bleeds a trap to ensnare
Be still in your hiding
Prepare your clever devices
Shake off the dust that once coated your feet in protection
Break free from hands that once steadied your stagger
In your eyes dwell a lust for liberty
And I shall be your captor no longer
...your captor no longer
