Black Velvet

My black velvet army
Of one in the melancholy
All we have ever known
Forever the weapon born
Wielded in battles existence
My black velvet army
Of one in the melancholy
Only bleeds when goodbyes
Are whispered never spoken
Feeling strong in the dark
My black velvet army
Of one in the melancholy
Trenches keeping us alive
When gods leave us behind
Unseen in shadows we embrace
The mourning meadowsweet
Growing up between toes
Buried in darkened earth
My black velvet army
Of one in the melancholy
