Deceptions

by SiLeNtLy ScReAmInG   Nov 16, 2011


Dearest, do you remember me,
Because I remember you,
When all my skies are grey,
And my heart is feeling blue.

The memories- they dance,
On the inside of my skull,
Beautiful and tragic,
With an undertow's pull.

Now the wind has sharpened its teeth,
It nips and bites into my skin,
Darling I can't seem to get warm,
And my soul is wearing thin.

The words have all gone blurry,
Or perhaps the problem is in my eyes,
I just can't seem to tell anymore,
The difference between the truth and lies.

Is it me, or are the walls screaming,
Wailing of their impending death,
Their voices carry accusations,
And a warning on their last breath.

I do believe I'm frightened,
There's a weight pressing upon my chest,
The kings and queens are laughing,
Thinking our struggle is such a jest.

The clouds are turning red,
My vision going black,
Somehow, somewhere you disappeared,
And there's a knife thrust in my back.

There's blood splattered on the ground,
And vultures circling overhead,
Something's wrong, my darling,
Don't they only prey upon the dead?

My consiousness is waning,
My body parts have all gone numb,
There's a pounding in my ears,
Constant as a beating drum.

It wasn't supposed to be this way,
But they say that's how life goes,
Whether it was you or I who died that day,
Ambiguity is the only one who knows.

Don't blame me for how things went,
I never foresaw this kind of demise,
The scornful royalty shed their flesh,
Revealing Titans in disguise.

    "The words have all gone blurry,

    oooh I like this stanza, its strong, and the last lines gives it that extra pinch.

    "The clouds are turning red,
    My vision going black,
    Somehow, somewhere you disappeared,
    And there's a knife thrust in my back."

    I love the visualisation in this part, good play on the words too.

    "There's blood splattered on the ground,
    And vultures circling overhead,
    Something's wrong, my darling,
    Don't they only prey upon the dead?"

    you know, I was only planning on pointing out a few stanzas that really stood out but there are so many in this piece, and the question you asked at the end of the above stanza is, well, genius. I do like a good dark poem, usually they're all basically the same just with a different topic or worded differently, but this was different all by itself, very good imagery in this. nicely done.
