something darker

i fell to the arrows
darting at my soul
like the catalyst of what was
the petty promises
of the lasting woe
hold to me my dear
forgetting the fierce abandon
i held the world to my chest
just daggers
just shards
cutting like ice glass
bleeding my fires out of me
tooth and tarry nail
for the avail was the last breach
of armageddon’s magic dust
leaving the heart to ash
running again
fore the new day’s dawn brought
the crimson tides
blanketed by the haggard shields
that left us clear to see
the crystal vision
open naked to it’s vulnerabilities
