I fixed my gaze, quick in the wind.
Turned my heels again - walk away.
My starving eyes had swallowed all.
The devil's on his way.
All my fumbled words rise up - the serpentine.
These narrow margins I have built.
These solid lines I am now caught between.
I hold my heart up in spite.
I hold my heart out for more.
So turn the soil, repay the cost.
Some sense from all you've lost.
A fleur de lys will take it's root, I search for you.
So funny, what desire does.
All my fumbled words rise up - a serpentine.
The time it took to take my time, to dull my tongue.
Give me red wine and sertraline.
I hold my heart up in spite.
I hold my heart out for more.
