Gossamer Skin Plastic Eyes I couldn’t save anyone, not matter what I did. Eat my Sins, O Chilled Hemlock. Throw bones, before the wire passes through you. As Tragic Queens sit, Their throne built of half-tied lineage and ferocity unsullied. As Amorphous Masses scream for nothing and everything, though they are loved. As Growing Wolf,…
Tidings
again I am cresting something I don’t understand. The motions feel empty and I do too. Grab my hand and pull me back, The void is stronger than I thought. I joke about it, not knowing it was reeling me in. Its tendrils worming through every crack in my facade. Sucking the colour from my…
Probably about you
Lay your scythed blade across my neck again, inhale through your parted lips, prepare some words meant to sting. I have felt this before- That shiver down my back and through my fingertips. Their pulse wavering once more. Abide by the ancient laws. all’s fair in this as well, and I will not sit idly…
not about you
Devour a god steal more time this is not an end and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Faint
Faint Red eyed boy, Churning your endless wail, Cursing the machinations Crumbling around you. Wheeling your sorrows For all to see. “Sic semper tyrannis” You scream at those above. Not seeing the faces around you darken. Your crown of laurels and blood Cannot be so light, For so long.
Thou
Thou He who sat weeping with insanity in his hands, Holding not a single strand of that desperation and melancholy that was there before, Wings unfurled and brains bashed open, Hold your madness at bay while the tides approach in radio waves, Not once feigning surprise at the endless maw that opened when your eyes…

Having something to lie about- “Nothing is ever enough”, I say, Pulling the grass from the ground. Its rigid but yielding texture, sticking to my fingertips. so dearly invoking you. I am met with a wall of ice and unwavering apathy and am reminded that I am not fire. bask in the thought of being…
decry
Don’t. the waves of your words are still reaching me. I can only feel anger and betrayal, as i tear open the seams i thought i had sewn shut for the last time. Your hypocrisy never fails to amaze. you speak of disease like you know what you’re talking about. i recall watching you sling…
Corvidae
“When there’s nothing left to burn, You have to set yourself on fire.” Again, I am alone in this pit. I am afraid that the lights above are just other fires, so why climb out? Maybe I’d rather sit and smolder in the ashes of past endeavors. Though, you tell me that I didn’t even…
Heat Death
Pace the aisles Tap my foot This is a death of sorts But I am not alone. I have my thoughts. I have the memories. Weak as they are, I’ll cling and scrape Until I have every last shred of them. And then, I’ll rip them to pieces. I’ll show you what I can be….
