I'm so cold...this vast desert consumes me with mirages of happiness...
Yet I cannot seem to grasp
I fall through rain...the fields of winter
Desperate to find my soul
Where is it? Can you find it?
It's lost in the ebony wood of my heart.
Ivory talons lock it away...displaying laughter at my inner thoughts...
I looked away...now though I must pay
A venom to spread through my own tears
In the wake of my impending demise.
A simple gesture might have made it so simple...
Sheer resolve was put away
Constant reminders pray that I will awaken
Never to advance from the comatose state of my body
Embedded within my rotted mind.
I wasted away into nothingness...
...I knew not myself in peace
But war
Hatred
Belittled by laughing ghosts that haunt my memories
But memories cannot hurt me now.
You walked into my light
I wondered where you had come from
Like an angel out of heaven,
I just wanted to touch you...
Make sure you were real.
My human side was decaying,
Yet you still saw the frame.
My heart ached for blood,
Yet you sought a stillness that seemed to flow so easily from your eyes...
So dark, angelic...relics from aeons ago...
Whispers of intelligence,
Of Sight...my withering beauty consumed me...
You saw my potential
Made it bloom...
I perspired from coiled rage
You knelt down beside me...
At times when I feared the worst...
You kissed my fears away.
Tell me how this is possible...a darkness that thrives upon your lips...awakening my inner peace.
