Seen your Face

I have seen your face
Splinters of torment
Disecting me
Luring me into your seaping wounds
Those souless eyes
Cloaked in Shadow
Mourning the loss
Of a spirit
Within
I have seen your eyes
Empty
and black
a tongue
Void of dialogue
A gaping hole
In a mouth
Where teeth
are nothing more
Than bone

Shadows dance

Shadows dance with pure delight
A little girl
With damaged sight
Her vision blurred
Her kisses stolen
A whisper of a dream on her lips
These shadows parade
 around her frame
Clicking heels
For she is game
For every tear
This sullen child weeps
A nightshade shadow
Arises from sleep
For there was fear
when she was happy
Elixir when she smiled
The potency of her courage
Would paint the world
A while
Now into the purple
She's taken a step
Yet a stubborn heart
Fights with so much
Contempt
Shh! mama says
Dont let them hear
Dont let them see
For they steal pieces of what
You yearn to be
A bitter witch
A malevolent shadow
Beseeches in the darkness
Desperate to claim your song

Another self

Another self
Unmasking pain
I loosen the rope
You tighten the reigns
So much acid
From this Nightingales beak
Yet this isnt a dream
I am not asleep
The sandman watches
From beside my bed
Voices shriek
Angry in my head
A shiver runs
along my spine
It was not there
Those days you were mine
For days we would flash
Polaroid smiles at the world
Our Joy in infinity
Animated girls
I loosen the rope
You tighten the reigns
Determined to relinquish
Some of this pain
