Dead Alive

The heart was veiled in black lace-
A clue that was missed.
Life was unexposed-
A thought provided by blue.

Innocence is an attraction-
An explanation of lost signs.
Lack of oxygen changes color
Something feeling trapped can do.

No tool he had-
Could right the past wrongs.
So she weeps alone-
Even with company an option.

Her eyes full to wander-
With a heart open to lust-
Love a forgotten feeling…
With faith blocked by past toxins.
