still sweet tonight in a reflection

what could be more
lovely
than to hear a
pretty melody
with lyrics that
make you all warm
and toasty
until it slips in between
your ribs
and
just rips your
still beating heart
out

you look at me like i am
losing it
who could be happy and
sad in the very same
moment

my eyes closed shut
but the world still
finds its way in

you find chaos and calamity
where i find
something so
beautiful
buried in the river
below
you’ll look away and
find yourself
missing it

to the accompaniment of
something so
lovely
