Preposterous
In my nightmares
of dark's puberty
as the shadow grows
struts a carrion crow
with all the pomp
and desolate eyes
of stone-beaded evil
with preposterous praise
and inuendoes
of egotism living in a cave
of dark's puberty
as the shadow grows
struts a carrion crow
with all the pomp
and desolate eyes
of stone-beaded evil
with preposterous praise
and inuendoes
of egotism living in a cave

Flooded with hurt
My face was flooded with sadness and hurt.
I cried today.
I cried until I couldn’t breathe.
I cried until I fell asleep.
I cried today.
I cried until I couldn’t breathe.
I cried until I fell asleep.

Camouflaged lonliness
I used my “happy face” as camouflage, like a chameleon becoming an invisible prey.
I’m starving for love like an abandoned dog unwillingly becoming a stray.
I’m starving for love like an abandoned dog unwillingly becoming a stray.

Homecoming
Dreading to come home
Although the dog licks your face
No place more lonely
Although the dog licks your face
No place more lonely

Artificial love
Their love is artificial.
They only care when its beneficial.
They only care when its beneficial.

Tea Strings
Nightshades dripping
the tea leaves
behind the screams
staining dark's curios
with lingering kisses
as nightmares swing
with sweet arsenic
on tea strings
the tea leaves
behind the screams
staining dark's curios
with lingering kisses
as nightmares swing
with sweet arsenic
on tea strings

Drunk
She was drunk
As a skunk
And smelled
As bad.
As a skunk
And smelled
As bad.

Just this.
Its right.
In gods light.
Soul bleaching.
But I'm reaching.
For a darker view.
Somewhere to be with you.
Thats true.
I undo.
Fall with me.
Into our sea.
In gods light.
Soul bleaching.
But I'm reaching.
For a darker view.
Somewhere to be with you.
Thats true.
I undo.
Fall with me.
Into our sea.
