My Possum King
You lay before me...
Seemingly still.
I know you're alive.
I feel you breathing...
Why do you pretend?
You should know I can see your soul shining.
Is it instinct?
I look at you...
Body cold, rigid…
You won't let me see you.
Awake for me...
Open your amber eyes.
I'm waiting.
I can see your heart through your armor...
A ruby glow, that beats to be free.
The war of death and living.
Why are you fighting?
It could be so easy...
Just lay down your weapons.
The war is only internal...
Peace still tangible.
I could kiss your lips softly...
The breath of love.
Wake up.
Fill your lungs...
And we can go flying.
Fall into the universe...
See the beauty possum king.
Drown the pain with happy memories...
Trust in love, in me.
I could save you...
If only you'd let me.
Don't be afraid.
I promise I won't harm you...
Just move.
Open your amber eyes.
Leave your kingdom...
God is waiting.
