Guiding me, cursed touched symmetry
Finite through a tar stained past
Floating among seabeds of my heart
Not pure enough to be a messiah
Though human enough to be your liar
Cold, caressed by arms in a holy fog
Wounds that left me wanting
Unburned and unbridled
Blackened by the thirst of me
Cruel inventions lost, abandoned
These petty idols are always hungry for more.

Cruel inventions lost, abandoned
These petty idols are always hungry for more.

it's a very intriguing write...I like the feeling it left me with... kind of odd yet compelling...

Sheesh, that is pure poetry right there.
The petty are never full. . .
