Ascension

My smile is crooked
Pieced together by pride and blood
My path is wicked
A creature who survives the flood
The magic fading
An elixir here underground
They claim I'm changing
All while nobody is around

Their bait is glory
Will you chase the white flag or dove?
Their light a story
Sucked dry beneath fictions of love
Your body flounders
On their strings you are hypnotized
Your thoughts then wander
You scream but you are paralyzed

My heart is broken
The antidote now gone awry
My soul unspoken
Is dwelling deep under the tide
The planets spinning
Align with what I want the most
Poetic ending
To the naive youth of the ghost.
