Decay

Lost amongst a forest of fore lorn phantoms
Her candle burns at both ends
and the flames grip me deeper into the either where all souls must transcend
Where the darkness eats away at emotion
Look upon this blind world and tell me what do you see
Love's bleeding heart drenched in perpetual agony
Nightmares made flesh
Reveal a pale spirit, torn beyond recognition
Such beauty buried beneath a garden of ash
Lying forgotten underneath the burning palaces of paradise
She is left to wither without fear
Fear of a most potent elation disguised beyond our vast consciousness
Her frail skin left cold and numb
She bleeds too much
A red haired starlet, caressed by autumn's gentle touch
With lifeless eyes of glistening amber, they speak ill will towards those who deceive
Love's sweet curse clutches at my veins, suffocating my heart, begging for my lips to turn blue
Together we cry out to the dark horizon as it slips away into the light
Longing for the solace of everlasting decay
