The Fall Children ~ As the cries start to penetrate still air, this day we celebrate. The wait now ends. From four corners smoke plumes into reddened sky. In the face of lantern light, my destiny flies. This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow. Tonight will come to life. Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind. Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin. The Boy Who Destroyed The World ~ Once there was a boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him. One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said "Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?" Remember when we were all so beautiful? But since then we've lost our glow. They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated. He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their arms around me as I'd fallen." They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own... as their own dissipated. Totalimmortal ~ Hope unkown. Sometimes just waking is surreal. I walk right through the nameless ones. I know that hope's unknown. Sometimes the water feels so real. As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning. This day never seems to end. This pain, never. The rage I will not let go. I hear them calling. I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls. So alone. Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones. I fear that I alone fear those ceased to feel they're alone inside of this place. I am the misplaced. Now every face, it looks familiar... then every face would melt away until.. now everyone, do you know, I know your deception? Who Knew? ~ Every single notion burned indelibly. Every motion leaving scars behind. All sincere emotion received skeptically with no preparation for life eternal. Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods. Paper cuts are leaving blood behind. All the silent laughter ringing piercingly. I blink making my eyes mine. Words in their worthlessness, they should be weighted down, but do I truly wish their cessation? 3 1/2 ~ Open wounds in the palms of my hands, festering through infectious time. I feel so faint as my life spills over you. Backstep over glass as I repent. I fear I cannot prevent myself from spilling your life all over me. I'm so sick, so sick of myself. Mother, say you'll pray for me. I'm premature in my decay. Shards of glass swimming in my eyes. A small voice in the back of my mind that's whispering words I never want to hear. I pray that you won't hesitate, as you watch me degenerate, to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear. My suffocation, asphyxiation. I've been choking on my own blood. Overexposure ~ I have seen ten roses bleed, seen new petals fall, I have felt my soul tear. I have felt nothing at all. Watched what was vibrant fade as shadows fall. I can see it's been done, all that was pure had been eradicated. I can see it's all done. Nothing can erase the damage done. I have seen ten liars love, seen two lovers lie, seen youth, blinded, smiling. I have seen deciet handed down from the highest height, below the lowly. I have seen beasts bathed in glory, tread across the angels as they crawl. Take it all away. Regress to nothing. Can someone please take these images from my mind? Now The World ~ Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said "I can erase it for you dear." That summer created those words that came to life in three. They were denied by you. Summer I laid down below a glitter adorned night and silently sparkled my own way. Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light. You gave the dark to me. I looked inside to find the one I sent away. I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray. I closed my eyes and kissed them one lest time. I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self mutilation. Summer, a morning so pale, alone when they found me. As I remained sleeping I heard them say "This summer created a boy of abject misery." He was designed by you. So like a lost child I will hide, and like a lost lie I will find a way to return to the one who made me. Cover your eyes and we'll die together. Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me, or will you cry with me? I've been a lonely one. I've had this whole world drained from me. Am I the only one? I've had this world drained from me. Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said "I can erase it for you dear." Reiver's Music ~ I gave up fighting. I've come to see these halos. Am I now worse off for this one night? All come enchanted, welcomed by the halos. All the while we know those enamored never miss us because we are all now in dying days, hear nothing and see no one. Nothing is all we own. I've taken to speaking words that only they know. How soon I did see, all here is unseen. I gave up trying. I've come to be these halos and welcome to our show those enamored who won't miss us because we are all now in dying days. With only echoes proving that I'm here with all the wraiths, for all these years and I have no desire to leave. Synesthesia ~ Heartbreak incarnate. I'm nothing if not your memories. Heartbreak please let me be your joy and your pain. Someday I will be, I'll be those common words spoken uniquely. Because I may, will forever be floating as you feel. Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow, letters of past all tear stained and wrinkled. (Just say) Say you will for me (for me), invite me to your memory. (Just sing) Sing again for me (for me), that long forgotten song. Heartbreak incarnate. I'm nothing if not your memories. Heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain. Someday I will be, I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream. Because I will, I may at best float as you feel. Let me be all the words. Let me be all the words, echoing comfort. Let me be all the words that you'd unsay.   |
