Juno from Jailbird by AK Patterson

You are not what I want
My maudlin bride
Your halo is blinding
And I can taste the deceit in your saccharine smile

Don’t you dare pull the veil
Over my loneliness
You’re the one in disguise
A Juno in drag in a white wedding dress

So I look to the moon at my shoulder
With her pale face afraid of the night
And I’m glad that I made my escape and left her behind
How could I let my soul sunder?
Just to have someone drag by my side
So I walk on alone on this cold stone
With this hard heart of mine

She stands in the doorway
My head at her feet
In all her perfection
She never did bend nor break down for me

Oh I need someone honest
To hold my brokenness
Only when you are ruined
Will I turn back and love what is left

So I look to the moon at my shoulder
With her pale face afraid of the night
And I’m glad that I made my escape and left her behind
How could I let my soul sunder
Just to have someone drag by my side
So I walk on alone on this cold stone
With this hard heart of mine

So I look to the moon at my shoulder
With her pale face afraid of the night
And I’m glad that I made my escape and left her behind
How could I let my soul sunder
Just to have someone drag by my side
So I walk on alone on this cold stone
With this hard heart of mine
