Funeral Romance

Pale and twitching
Stretching blame as time elopes
Dragging across
      This abrasive hour
To leave a fading impression

Lets watch the world crawl by
As we suffer our immortality
Hide your blank expressions behind glass walls and
Brood over your melancholia as I breathe your brutality

Split a Chelsea grin and be jovial
Collect your pseudo blood as it seeps from your dahlia
Scrape the dirt from under your fingernails
And plant the seeds of your lips to sprout a
Mirror image to leech your suffering

I'll sacrifice my empathy for you

But I won’t be your marionette
