Don't Cry Daydream

Don’t Cry Daydream

By

Lucas Corso


When the lights go out
Who is left
Standing silently
By the edge of
Night
Nevermore
I’m here
Baby
Razorblade kiss
Kill the day with a
Solemn vow
Swear to me you’ll
Smile all lips
And hips
And eyes
Like the sky
Crescent luna lies
Lust turns to dust and
Love doesn’t find
A home with me
The tragic hero
Hates himself
And the heroine
Has a heart
Stained golden and
Weary with waiting
When will the end
Wash away the sun
And melt the castles
Made of maudlin
Regret and the reciprocity
Of the red rose religion
Found in dime store
Paperback promises
And a liter of
Lausanne I’ll wave goodbye
For now
Always for you
Forever a fire
Forget me not
When you go
And smile once in awhile
When you see
The fools falling
In love with the ghosts
Lurking in sad cafes
And in corners
At tomorrow’s parties
Don’t cry tonight
Toast the stars
And turn out the light
Darling dance
With the moon and just
Daydream.
