In the end, when they crack open my skull
Clear away the bone and blood
There will be nothing but amber
A fossil of great value
Glowing in hues of ochre and cherry
Everything that is me trapped within
-Hold it up to the light
-See here?
A memory, the color of a lover's eye
Unrequited desire, a knot of ache
Your face, and the moon like Diana's bow
The flush of passion and promises broken
It all takes on a golden luster as time passes
Perfectly preserved
These are my remains
Realer than life ever was
Realer than I ever wished it to be
