A Dark Place

What goes on in my head?
Step inside, look around
I might be calm when I'm dead
Until then I'm hell bound

Wear my shell like a gargoyle
But within I'm hard boiled

Beneath this mask of stone
Bequeathed to face this task alone
Dreams of clattering bones
Screams in glass shattering tones

This smile hides aces veiled
Eyes wide, faces pale
Helpless shapes
Mouths agape

Gasping for breath
Practically asking for death
Not so fast, make it last
Before cast to the depths

It's been a while since I've slept
Been compiling tears that they've wept
The figments of my haunted thoughts
Their pigments change as bodies rot

This solace I've sought
Forming volatile plots,
Has it all been for naught?
...But they hit the spot!
In such a tight knot I'm caught

The halls of my skull
I crawl into to mull
Welcome morbid horrors
Like morgue corridors

Any nightmare is fair game
To be a daydream all the same
But I can barely bear the shame
Of keeping it locked there in my brain
The beast that I'm too scared to tame
And there's no one to share to blame
