Shift

starring daggers through granite eyes
a sarcophagus of dead compassion filled
another skeleton for the overflowing coffin
sititched eyes caress forbidden flesh
seraphim stab wounds from the serpentine choir
forked tongued whispered nothings
an angel of slotted eyes sent to deliver the scribbled sulfuric lies
icy veins through frozen words will bleed for you no longer
i will bleed for you no longer
a magician's sword in her side
the welcomed coagulation around the nail in the simian's hand
yet another failed atempt at being the martyr
the act bleeds trasparently into a dried well of pity
where patience is a deceased forgiveness
hope he was worth it, hope he was worth us
feeling the once forgotten stinging familiarity scratching at the vaguely reminiscent scars
digging up the bones in the adulteress's closet eclipses the ever-dimming ray of hope
illuminating the delicately fallen petals of our wilting bouqet of razorblade roses
as the lies unfold, a true form is revealed
see you for what you are, swallow hard and open the wound again
forsake the world on the liar's pedestal
take satisfaction in the mask's virginal reflection
when the black hearted arrows of cupid's bow decompose
charred friendships will be the only remains
enjoy choking down the ashes of a purchased soul
love kills when it dies
