THE LAST OF US
I'm tired of falling like Icarus
High above the crux of Olympus
I've lost the other half of us
Holding on to the last of us
I'm still addicted to the tragedy
Living in the past where the pain will not die
Where you walked away from the misery
And now I don't know if I'm dead or alive
When I look at the ghost
That has scorned me the most
I know I've FUCKED it up
And I can't LET it go
I won't pay the toll
If you won't go
Because if I drift away
I won't find my way back to you
NO
...

Merging
Hahaha you think that you know submission, but don't know what submission is
Playing games of torture and torment, but imagine this as a way you truly living
Pleasure through pain, pain seeking pleasure, a fractured arm falling from the crib
A few more falls add up to a broken jaw and two broken ribs
Deprivation suits, imagine forced deprivation being three and locked in a closet
You're so fucking scared and all of hell knows it
One by one they come to visit you all through out the night
By the time Satan visits he's like a ray of sunlight

Frankenstina
into her arms with everyday embrace
I always felt wanted around her
she gives new meaning to rebirth
taking out the bad feelings and inserting in good
cutting out pieces of broken heart and replacing with a new
no more horrific thoughts now that I have a fully functioning brain
others see me as a monster, but it is she who comforts me
loving me as the women who took me on
not an easy battle fighting those that shun us
we become targets for their relentless hate
but I fight for her as the crazy experiment they say I am ...

The Elder
in a bed
of loose
and shifting soil
she was easy
pickings
shiny hair
pulled too tight
in pigtails she hated,
by a mother
who spared no thought
to her comfort
~appearances~
are everything, you know;
with a pair
of onyx eyes
she was striking,
sharp and wise
beyond her years
with an already jaded
understanding of pain;
her barely pubescent body
somehow built...

CREATION DENIED
Six hundred and sixty six necrophagous desecrators
Crawl like a phage to the page burning toward oblivion
To dance the macabre throes like writhing maggots before the flame
They suckle the grim sickle of the reaper six feet in the grave
Godless abominations reigning blood from lacerations
Blackened skies are eclipsing two gothic lovers' retreat
Where Lilith sought the heart of Jesus upon the altar
Decorated with desecrations of blood, bones and meat
i have come to the realization that the curse of love
is the beast of revelations
...

A Warrant of Crows
(while considering “The Drunken Boat” by Jean Nicholas Arthur Rimbaud)
In first ray’s light, the empty crows descend,
Black beaks that tear apart the road’s edge death,
Urine caressed, the end of tony night,
Reflecting steams of neon sputters end.
How graceful silks arise above the blood.
How leather’s polished gaze in gentile steps,
From stone to stone, avoids the gentile muck,
The gentile eyes that never find its flood.
The white plates’ stack, the grace of black hat...
In first ray’s light, the empty crows descend,
Black beaks that tear apart the road’s edge death,
Urine caressed, the end of tony night,
Reflecting steams of neon sputters end.
How graceful silks arise above the blood.
How leather’s polished gaze in gentile steps,
From stone to stone, avoids the gentile muck,
The gentile eyes that never find its flood.
The white plates’ stack, the grace of black hat...
