Radio Silence

Radio silence, don't know how to say
I hurt somebody that you love today.
You place your world in untrustworthy arms;
I let it shatter and bleed from the shards.

Pottery graves in a line on the shelf;
Tallying oaths I betrayed to myself.
This time I'll love it, I'll try to, I swear;
Vibrant leaves wither for want of my care.

Embers of starlight through skeleton vines;
Fleeting light slips through inadequate lines.
All that remains now to do is deceive:

I love you

I love you

That's all I believe.
